B Correct answer
Explanation

In chess, 'check' occurs when the king is under direct threat of capture. The player must immediately eliminate this threat on their next move by moving the king, blocking the attack, or capturing the attacking piece. This is a fundamental chess concept - the king is never actually captured; the game ends when checkmate occurs.
