Explanation:

The error here is in fragment B as the correct word is lull which here means to make (someone) feel deceptively secure or confident. Dull is meaningless and makes no sense.

Correct: The U.S.-China trade war has flared up again after a deceptive lull over the last few months, when both sides were trying to negotiate a deal.

Hence, option B is correct.
