B) An application to extend patent protection

A continuation patent application is a type of patent application that allows an applicant to pursue additional claims based on the original patent application (the parent application) without having to file a completely new application. This is often done to refine the claims or to cover additional aspects of the invention that were not fully addressed in the original application.
