The functions of baffles are;
1) to create the turbulence by changing the direction of flow.
2) to support the tube.

And D is right, baffles improving heat transfer due to turbulent flow.

Why would you have stagnation of shell fluid - It is counter productive for heat transfer- hence C is not correct.
Baffles do not help in improving heat transfer - It actually reduces by restricting movement of fluid hence A is not correct. Hence B is correct answer in this scenario.
