B says headache pain and C only says headache. The passage says no pill stops pain more quickly than D... It can be assumed that headache and headache pain are the same according to the answer. My question is when do we know when difference in wording makes a difference for the question? Is it only quantifiers or difference in tone?

The only thing that matters is meaning. One can express the same meaning in radically different words or use words that wound similar to mean different things. Here headache and headache pain mean the same thing. A headache is painful, that's pretty much the core feature of the condition. Note that if the answer had just said pain without headache this would change the meaning since just pain could be referring to leg pain, or a stomachache.
