Why? What the heck is the difference?

The only reason I can see for B in this case (and sometimes I will go to B in this case) is when you have a crafty lefty with a close-to-a-balk-move reputation, or some weird motion. Being in B gives you a little better look at the 45 degree angle/step toward first aspect. It also lets you see the front edge/free foot (FED), or back edge/free foot (OBR) relationship for the purposes of calling balks.
All that being said, I still usually prefer C.
