B is the right choice. since readonly field can only be initialized at the time of construction of the object. that means if you wanna initialize the readonly property that intialize it inside the constructor.

I'd argue "B" isn't quite right - you CAN assign to a readonly variable more than once, it's just that you can't assign to it after the constructor has been executed. Consider the following (albeit rather contrived) code; the readonly member is assigned to a maximum of three times - once in its initializer, and (potentially) twice during the call to the constructor.

internal class MyClass
{
    private readonly myReadonlyMember = 1;

    public MyClass(int someValue)
    {
       if(someValue > 100)
       {
          myReadonlyMember = (someValue * 2);
          if(someValue == MyOtherClass.SomeConstant)
          {
             myReadonlyMember++;
          }
       }
    }
}

C) You can never assign a value to it.
