I feel like I might be mixing up the definitions, but I think A is the right choice since it mentions systematic risk and risk premium.

Unsure about the terms used here; I thought both systematic and unsystematic risks were important, but CAPM emphasizes one over the other.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the risk premium is definitely tied to systematic risk.

I think the CAPM focuses on systematic risk, but I'm not entirely sure if it's about the risk premium or risk discount.
