B is correct.
“Each LDAP directory can have a root DN (rootdn), which is similar to the superuser account on Unix systems. When authenticated, this DN is authorized to do whatever the user desires; access control restrictions do not apply. For this reason, some administrators prefer not to configure a root DN at all, or at least remove it once the directory has been sufficiently populated to hand over control to existing user accounts.”
