After reading the previous responses on this question I'm not convinced that B isn't a valid answer. Can someone please comment and clarify why B doesn't work?

Hi, B is incorrect since it allows the possibility that H and P are both on the trial court. It bans them from having neither on trial, but it says nothing about them both being on trial.
