I guess it is B as antagonist has more affinity to bind with receptor

once again (after the fact ) b looks correct my thinking being that a partial agonist could be an antagonist because [it has great affinity but little efficacy] eg. morphine and pentazocine. If its close to y axis it has high affinity for receptor/ efficacy think about height in a graph. Most of time antagonism is competiive eg. Norepi and propanolol at beta 1 receptors. hope this helps

Thank you very much
I think B is correct. I agree with mjl1717, according to katzung most antagonists are actually partial agonists.

great deduction Hilfer. Good q in that it covered efficacy, potency, affinity ,antagonist, agonist, and it makes one invision a graph.
