When advised by the tower to do so.✓ Correct Answer
B
Prior to turning off the runway.
C
After reaching a taxiway that leads directly to the parking area.
Explanation
AIM 4-3-21 says that after landing, pilots should exit the runway and stay on the tower frequency until instructed to contact ground control. Switching before turning off, or only after reaching the parking-area taxiway on your own, could leave tower unable to reach you while you are still near the runway.
