The correct answer is B. through faith in Christ, the sinner is regarded as guiltless before God

In Romans, Paul develops justification by first speaking of God's just wrath at sin (Romans 1:18-3:20). Justification is then presented as the solution for God's wrath (Romans 3:21-26, Romans 5:1). One is said to be 'justified by faith apart from works of the Law' (Romans 3:28).
