Who could explain the sense of the answer to the following question ?
Right of way - Converging; Two aircraft are approaching each other in a controlled airspace class D in VMC at approximately the same level on converging courses. Aircraft "A" is flying under IFR, Aircraft "B" is flying under VFR. ; Who has the right of way?

Thanks,
Emmanuel.
