I would say A is the right answer.

Sweep causes the wing tip to be out of plane with the wing root.

Therefor the Cp will be away from the root so there will be a moment caused by the force through the cp and distance between root and cp in the longitudinal. Which will give a torsional force. ie rotation in the pitch sense at the wing root.
