I can’t imagine who would answer A.
We grew up learning “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.”
Any healthy adult practices B when interacting with their romantic partner.
Folks who think A? Who hurt you?

The responsibility for your reaction to my words is mine, because to approach life otherwise would set my goals on how to communicate too low. The responsibility of my reaction to your words is mine, though, for a similar reason.

So much complexity is hiding in this question.
The naivest interpretation of the question seems to imply people have the naive idea of free will.
Maybe people don't, yet since you act in the world it's best to act as if (B).
And what does 'responsibility' encompass?

The only thing we can control in life is our actions. What we do is under our control. I might get emotional and not have control over those emotions but how I physically act or act out is under my direction.

A seems very self-centered. But in practice I'd subscribe to a combination of both

We are always responsible for anything that happens.
Even if something happens by mistake or accident we are responsible for how we handle it.
