TOEIC Listening Question

Speaker A: Who turned on the lights?

Speaker B:
(A) They are on all the time.
(B) It isn't drak outside.
(C) I'll turn them ooff.

I expected the answer to be "He did.", "She turned on the lights." or something like that. According to the answer key, (A) is the correct answer. However I feel (A) is not a satisfying answer for me. Can anyone explain why (A) is goods?
