I agree with you (American). However, you have to construe "calendar" to mean "calendar of events" or something like that, because regular calendars always go where everyone can see them. Also, I don't know what an office timetable is, but it seems to me that some offices might have one.

- "Schedule" seems like it's what you would normally hear, though, and I'll bet that's their correct answer.

0Right or wrong I would have answered A.
I've never heard anybody say, "Please put the office schedule on the wall", and likewise for "timetable". In fact, "timetable" sounds wrong because a timetable is typically associated with trains or buses, and it's more like a booklet with fine print that you can page through, which does not seem suitable for putting on a wall.
