Listening test question

Speaker A:
You what? You threw my favorite T-shirt away?

Speaker B:
(A) Take it easy. I was just joking.
(B) Yes, why not?
(C) I will help you.
(D) Why don't you check the trash can?


The answer key says (A) is correct. I think (B) also sounds fine though. Can anyone make comments on this question?
