" B" = AV malformation
Angiodyplasia has strong association with Aortic stenosis and Von Willibrand disease

I also go for B because of the association between AS and Angiodysplasia (or better to say AVM). Besides, the age and the pattern of bleeding are also match the AVm as the cuase of the patient's lower GI bleeding.
