B. Vessel "B" is the stand-on vessel because it is sailing.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS Rule 18), a power-driven vessel (Vessel A, which is towing) must keep out of the way of a sailing vessel (Vessel B). A sailing vessel is the "stand-on" vessel over a power-driven vessel, regardless of their relative positions.
