I put A as the answer
If you are writing, addressing all your ideas toward the people in A, then you're right. But what if you send it to people other than the "decision makers or opinion molders"?
The question is not clear unless it's in a context you're not telling us about. IMO, it's a poorly worded question if it's not in a specific context.
I'd put B if it's just a general question.

Employees will use your manual in training seminars taught by your company's trainers. The manual will also serve as an on-the-job reference later.

I believe the answer is *A. Decision makers or opinion modelers in an organization* because in the Business Communication book I have, under the caption "Identify Your Primary Audience" it states, "For some messages, certain audience members may be more important than others. Don't ignore the needs of less influential members, but MAKE SURE you address the concerns of the key decision makers."
The emphasis on addressing the concern of the "key decision makers" leads me to believe that decision makers should always compose the group of primary audience members being addressed.
