The answer is D. There is no confirmation that B wants to go to Jammu in what A advice's?

The answer must be "D", we cannot conclude that B wishes to go to Jammu. B might want to know the route for some calculations for his project. If he wants to know the shortest route doesn't means he wants to go there.
