Point of contraflexure is the point at which bending moment changes sign not the point at which bending moment is zero.
E.g. for a cantilever carrying a point load at its free end. BM at the free end is zero but no sign change ocure so it is not a point of contraflexure.

Point of contraflexure is maximum when bending moment changes its change.

Point of contrflexure is where sf changes it sign and there is maximum BM.

Bm will be zero is called point of contraflexure.

BM will be maximum when SF is zero, so I feel the correct option is B.
