B Correct answer
Explanation

Equivalent to and equal to are not identical phrases. Equal to means exactly the same in value or amount, while equivalent to means equal in value, function, or meaning but not necessarily identical in form or expression. For example, 1/2 and 0.5 are equivalent but may not be considered equal in all contexts.
