There is no error in option B. Adverb like scarcely, hardly should be followed by when.

Why not option B is wrong?

Siddhant said:   1 decade ago
How about this sentence:

Had he gone a few steps, he would realize that he had missed out his phone.

The option B is equally wrong. Because it should be "he went for few steps" or "he had gone for few steps".
