Takeoff - flaps settings

Goodday gentlemen,
it's my first post in this forum, though I've been reading it for quite some time. It's great to see professionals taking time to post here. I wish one day I'd have pair of my own wings. Enough of sweet words and here is my question.

A takeoff with more than normal takeoff flap settings will result in:

a) longer takeoff distance
b) shorter takeoff distance
c) the same takeoff distance

It seems easy and normally i'd think that the answer is "B" but my book says it's "A" but it's not explaining it. Would you please tell me which one is the correct answer and most importantly "why?" Thanks a lot in advance!
