Stakeholders are every person impacted by the project, regardless of their normal level or authority.

Option B
At all levels and varying authority ( Interest / Power grid) diagram would allow us to understand & anlyse the various stakeholders putting them into 4 quadrants..That covers all type of stakeholders. Sicne the second part refers to authority 'Power' in all other options , so it should be 'All levels and varying authority'

Considering B as an answer.
Considering B as an answer. It will raise another question that which are different level of stakeholders? does it mean types of stakeholders? As per my understanding Interest / Power grid diagram shows categorization of stakeholder for how to manage them.

Page 246 of PMBOK:
Page 246 of PMBOK: Stakeholders may be at different levels with different authority levels. Hence instead of using the words "all levels" in option B and "same level" in option D, it would not have created confusion if "different levels" were used
If "different levels" is treated as " all levels", then option B is right
