I know B is what they want, but the sun and moon are both shaped like spheres, so they should have phrased this better.

Cited by who? Certainly not the cyclists themselves. They typically do it for one of 3 reasons:
• Easier to deal with road rash, both for cleaning the wounds and to allow bandaids or adhesive tape to adhere.
• No tugging of hairs during massage.
• Simply because it is a 100-year-old tradition.

Yes, by the cyclists. I live in what tried to be the "Mountain Bike Capital of the World" until Moab beat us out of it with their kajillion miles of slickrock (which is very slick to horse hooves but very nonslick to bicycle and other tires) trails and more months of cycling weather. Anyway, the question was carefully phrased. Certainly that's not the only reason they do it, but it is indeed commonly cited.

Thanks, my bad. Sorrry for my reading comprehension lapse. I haven't forgotten how to give directions or write a check, but I know very few phone numbers off the top of my head, so I just assumed that's what it was asking for.

Hmmm, I wonder if "Blame it on your smartphone" was intended to be an essential part of of the question or just fluff? I could see B being one of those things you can't remember, at least for that portion of the population who wear sneakers with the technology of velcro.
Not that I'd actually change my answer based on that, but it'd be one of those things I'd like to comment on, in the entirely hypothetical situation where I was cast as a contestant.

If we ever get the automated shoes depicted in Back to the Future II, we won't need to remember how to tie our shoes either.
