In Table 5A, we can see that all of the cases where the phenomenon occurs (indicated by a "1" in the "Phenomenon" column) have "B" present in the "Conditions" column. This suggests that "B" is necessary for the phenomenon to occur, but it is not sufficient on its own (as there are cases where "B" is present but the phenomenon does not occur). Therefore, option B is the best choice.
