i think the intended meaning of the sentence is to indicate that senior officials did not want the press to name them as far as the source of the story is concerned.
hence IMO A.

Simple way of not choosing B is...the tense: "spoke" vs. "will" in choice B. Mayby "would" is better fit here.loki.gmat wrote:i think the intended meaning of the sentence is to indicate that senior officials did not want the press to name them as far as the source of the story is concerned.

Anyway, "condition" requires "be named" like choice A.
