I sincerely hope your teacher meant "Preceeded".

A is sort of true, depending on what one considers a type.
B is true, but that is hardly the reason for most folks looking at the evolution of RNA to DNA systems. If you are interested, here it is ..http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK26876/

I would go with B, then maybe argue with your teacher over A. Neither is a good answer.
