The slant height of a rectangular pyramid is:

B) The height from the apex straight down to the base of the triangular face where it forms a right angle.

Scenarios in the answers describe characteristics of the pyramid, but the slant height specifically refers to the length of the line segment from the apex to the midpoint of the base of a triangular face, forming a right angle with that base.
