yes sir i understand why option D is incorrect factually, but how is Option B correct factually? the red one

You will have to read rhe theory :) The function is max at r=0 when s=0 Sorry l =0 It's there in Atkins.

don’t these graphs denote probability vs radius? if yes then at the nucleus it is zero

Yes this is probability. The q talks a out probability density. The first graph is probability density
