Porosity is a measure of how much of a rock is open space. This space can be between grains or within cracks or cavities of the rock. Permeability is a measure of the ease with which a fluid (water in this case) can move through a porous rock....so which makes the most sense? :D

In my opinion, I think B in this case is incorrect/
