A couple of main reasons people install as "B":
-Prevents shorts if a something falls on and bridges loose plugs. If your plugs are falling out, though, you need to replace either the receptacle or the plug.
-If there is a switched outlet in a room full of non-switched outlets, the switched is usually/should be installed opposite orientation from the others to distinguish it.

Doubt that, most people switch only one of the duplex receptacle, usually the top one. JMO

It's A. When flood waters come up it will reach the ground first and short out the circuit.
If it's B and the flood water reaches the two blades, you get electrocuted!
At least that's what I've been told by one electrician.
An out of work electrician I hope.
