B Correct answer
Explanation

During a normal landing, the main landing gear (under the wings) touches down first, followed by the nose gear. This configuration allows for better control, reduces the risk of nose gear damage, and provides natural aerodynamic braking as the aircraft settles. The nose gear is designed to touch down last.
