Were or Werent? Thanks

Dear all,
I did a multiple choice. Answer (A) is a correct. How about Answer (B). I think Answer (B) sounds OK. What do you think? Thanks for your explanation.

______ you my classmates in elementary school?

(B) Weren’t
(C) Was
(D) Wasn’t

B sounds OK to me, too. The meaning is different - In B, you recognize the people, and are asking them for confirmation that your memory is good. In A, you are just asking.
