@All
The given answer is correct. Don't get confused.
Option B might be indirect result, but it is an concrete/finite answer.
But, Option C, states that "Biologists met last year to discuss to reverse the trend ", okay then what about this year, next year?. Are they still working on it?? They might have dropped their action - isn't it?.
So, They might have had a meeting to discuss. But, there is no concrete info to support biologists are currently working on it.
Hence the answer is B.

Yes the answer C seems to be more matching as in the last line they told biologist met to discuss to reverse this tend that means the answer is 100% C. B is possible but it is indirect result.

Option C is more reasonable as it has been told in the paragraph that the biologists met to discuss what might be done to reverse this trend which means they are working on how to save the seahorses.
