The correct is B, ABR will generate only type 3 LSA and flood only type 5 LSAs to the backbone area, I think the ASBR will generate type 4 LSA

No, Type 4 LSA is generated by ABR. ASBR still generates LSA 1 and has a bit to indicate it’s ASBR. After receiving this LSA, ABR will generate LSA 4 to announce to their neighbor that it has a path to ASRB. So C is correct.

no, definitely is C, ABR generate LSA type 3 and 4 and LSA type 5 are flooded to all areas (except stub in case of 4 and 5).
