Karin, I would have chosen A, mainly because ALL nipple pain needs to evaluated. Certainly in my practice 99% of nipple pain I see is due primarily to incorrect latch. I agree with you that a compression strip is common to many incorrect latches, but it is not always present. Also I would have suspected that this is the answer that the examiners were looking for! Best wishes for Monday!
