Stub areas (in this case NSSA) influence which LSA will be allowed within that area. However, other areas will learn about OSPF internal networks of NSSA area via SLA type 3. R2 as ABR creates LSA type3 and R3 will recreate those LSAs and advertise into area where R5 is, so correct answer should be B.
It's a little bit tricky, because without R2, R3 and R5 learn nothing. But as said by certman20, The flooding scope of Type-3 LSA is a single area, so R5 cannot receive any Type-3 LSA from R2. So B is the correct answer.
Please update
Anyway, EXTERNAL routes injected by 4.4.4.4 will always LSA type 5

LSA7 or LSA5 is only for redistribute routes. LSA3 will be for all internal routes.. if not cli was added for send only default , R5 will learn them as LSA3 from R2
LSA TYPES:
Type 1 – Router LSA: The Router LSA is generated by each router for each area it is located. In the link-state ID you will find the originating router’s ID.
Type 2 – Network LSA: Network LSAs are generated by the DR. The link-state ID will be the interface IP address of the DR.
Type 3 – Summary LSA: The summary LSA is created by the ABR and flooded into other areas.
Type 4 – Summary ASBR LSA: Other routers need to know where to find the ASBR. This is why the ABR will generate a summary ASBR LSA which will include the router ID of the ASBR in the link-state ID field.
Type 5 – External LSA: also known as autonomous system external LSA: The external LSAs are generated by the ASBR.
Type 6 – Multicast LSA: Not supported and not used.
Type 7 – External LSA: also known as not-so-stubby-area (NSSA) LSA: As you can see area 2 is a NSSA (not-so-stubby-area) which doesn’t allow external LSAs (type 5). To overcome this issue we are generating type 7 LSAs instead.
A is correct!
R2 is going to create a Type 3 summary LSA and flood it into area 0. This LSA will flood into all the other areas of our OSPF network. This way all the routers in other areas will know about the prefixes from other areas.
