Hardly won't come in option a because hardly is meant recently or shortly.

In option B in place of 'a' we may use 'the' because 'few words' sounds plural type.

'Hardly had the President spoken' will be the correct sentence phrase in option A because to use hardly the rule is as:
Hardly + had + subject
Hardly + had + subject

The president spoke hardly a few words when the microphone stopped functioning. I think should be proper order because both the action happening at the same time in both the clauses.
