I think the answer would be B...because when the calcium attaches to the troponin it causes the tropomyosin-troponin configuration to change, therefore allowing the myosin head to attach to the binding site on actin.

I don't think it's calcium that does this, more like sodium or potassium, one or the other. Calcium is known to bind to troponin; that's why I guessed C.

C is the correct answer as Ca2+ bind to troponin during muscle contraction.
