Explanation:

Fragment B is erroneous due to use of the word advisories. As per the statement, there is a lot of tension between USA on the one hand and Russia and China on the other. Hence, advisory, meaning ‘having the power to make recommendations but not enforcing them” is not a good fit here.

Instead, the correct word is adversaries meaning enemies.

Correct sentence: The United States has identified both China and Russia as adversaries, whose leaders, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, are strong and determined to stand up to a faltering Donald Trump.

Hence, option B is correct.
