Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria inhibit the coupling between the electron transport and phosphorylation reactions thus inhibit ATP Synthesis without affecting the respiratory chain and ATP synthase. 2, 4 DNP and so base are uncouplers.

Oligomycin inhibits the Fo base piece of ATP synthase while 2, 4 Dinitrophenol acts as an uncoupler and as such the answer should be B.
