    B: Some wheat is planted for farm animals to eat.

    I chose this one because it said only a limited amount of wheat is planted, and that it is planted as food for livestock. Therefore, some wheat (a limited extent) is planted, for farm animals ( livestock) to eat (as a forage crop).

    EDIT: I didn't notice the second one, but I agree that it's A.
