May be but here two shafts under pure torsion so solid shaft better than hollow shaft because it will resist more torsion than hollow shaft.

If two shaft are in equal weight then the cross-section of the hollow shaft remains the shear stress and transmitted torque.

The question didn't determine the point of comparison between the two shafts.

Shaft B is better probably because it saves cost and material used.

Here B can transmit more power/torque than A.
