The correct answer is 'Option B'.
When one party possesses more information about the good than the other party that is involved in trade then there is asymmetric information. To eliminate the problem of asymmetric information, both parties i.e. the buyer and the seller must have complete and equal information about the good. So, there is asymmetric information in the case discussed here. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option B'.
