The answer is "B" because when R1 (obstructed runner) is put out, the ball becomes dead. When there is a dead ball, all baserunners must be permitted to fulfill their baserunning duties prior to acknowledging any appeals. Since R1 is standing on 3rd, it would be a bit ludicrous to accept an appeal for a runner missing the base to which they have legally advanced and is standing upon.
