When the end of the column is machined for full bearing on the base plate, it is assumed that 50 % of the total design axial column load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing and the remaining 50% of axial load will be transferred through fastenings like bolted or welded connection including gusset plate, stiffeners if any.
However, when the end of the column and gusset plate is not machined for full bearing i.e. partially machined, in that case, it is assumed that connection to the base plate is designed for all the forces acting on the plate.

B is correct, if the column and base have machined end and perfect bearing is ensured the axial load is assumed to be transferred directly.
