Retain : Continue to have(something); keep possession of.

Keep : Have or retain possession of.

Recall : Bring(a fact, event, or situation) back into one's mind, especially so as to recount it to others; remember.

So Keep is correct one.

Synonyms of retain in Shabdkosh - hold, hold back, keep back, continue, keep.

For eg:

Secure and keep for possible future use or application.

Example,

- I reserve the right to disagree, keep in one's mind.

It is not option B.

Because one recalls what one retains. Recalling is something we do after retaining. Both are different.
