At least in BrE "someday" as a single word doesn't exist. That's why B is correct. Another example: "sometimes" as an adverb exists, but when you mean "sooner or later", at an unidentified moment, then it's "some time": two words.

Someday - used to express the future indefinitely.

Example - I know you will succeed someday.

Some day - used when you want to be a little more specific with day or time.

Example - Why don't you visit me some day?

We usually say "electric" to indicate that somthing works by electricity: an electric light, an electric motor. "Electrical" is more general; "electrical goods" may be machines and lights, but also pieces of cable etc. I'ts a category of products. An "electrical engineer"; he is not electrically operated, his business is electricity.
"Electronics" is a specific branch of electricity concernin
