I agree: it's B.
Elevation of the affected hemiscrotum relieves the pain of epididymitis and exacerbates the pain of torsion (Prehn's sign).
A normal cremasteric reflex makes testicular torsion less likely.
Furthermore, on technetium Tc 99m scanning acute epididymitis shows an increased tracer uptake, while a defect in uptake in the scrotum occurs with torsion.

Cremasteric reflex is absent in all cases of testicular torsion
