These words are synonyms in certain contexts, but they have other meanings that are very specific. eg. In a sports context, target is used in shooting and archery; goal is used in football, and objective is nothing physical, it is only winning the game.

Perhaps the problem is that (B) is plural, but it is in reference to "a certain goal," which is singular.
