The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1--3: Analysis
Convention: “b” fragment is larger and stays on the surface; “a” is smaller and acts as an inflammatory mediator. For C3, C3b is larger. C2 is the exception: C2a is the larger fragment that stays in the complex; C2b is smaller.

Step 4: Conclusion

The larger fragments are C3b and C2a.

Final Answer: (B)
