B Correct answer
Explanation

The tall man must have been the attacker because he was the only one who could have reached the accountant's head to steal the bowler hat and hit him. The bowler hat, being on the ground, was taken from a height that only the tall man could access. The short man, being 'short as a child', could not have reached the accountant's head to take the hat.
