B versus A

Can someone explain why B is wrong and A is correct here? I felt that line 21 in passage A supported answer choice B, and couldn’t find the same principle in Passage B. Thanks in advance.

    Okay, now I am seeing support for answer choice B in passage B as well-- lines 41-43? Can someone confirm my understanding and please still explain what evidence they used to come at the correct answer, answer choice A?

    B's whole point is that objective truth can take a back seat to subjective perception, which is to say that a mistaken version of events is not unforgivable, and is even at times preferable. The main issue with answer choice B is that A does not think that good narrative requires lying, only that good historical fiction does. We have no idea how A would apply this to genres that do not require one to invent details that are lost to history.
