IMO B. B is concise.

However, this sentence looks very strange. I think, "learn things" is used in spoken English and not in written English.

Your thoughts please

@vivek.kapoor83
I think "One" is used as indefinite pronouns, and as per definition they are words that replaces nouns without specifying which noun they replace.

Good thought though. I never realized this until you raised this question.
Look at this link for more reference.
