Answer 1

It's not B -- the given sentence is really confusing. Think of the similar statement, "No one is perfect." What's the negation of that?

Answer 2

everyone is perfect

Answer 3

is the answer a?

Answer 4

Not quite, "No one is perfect" is the same as "Everyone is not perfect," and the opposite of that is "Someone is perfect," since it only takes one person to be perfect to make the original statement false.
