B is the correct answer. Use 'qtd. in' to indicate that the source is being quoted from elsewhere, rather than from the direct material you are using.

B. qtd. in

Let's say you were using an article from ESPN to write about the NCAA tournament. Coach Pitino is quoted as saying, "The tournament is rigged." If you only want to use Coach Pitino's quote, you need to use the indicator "qtd. in" as part of your citation since Bilas, the author of the article you are reading, did not actually say those lines himself. Pitino is being quoted in the article by Bilas. After the quote you would write (qtd. in Bilas).
