Question about a matrix representing a network

MAV 2008 exam insists that the answer is A, while I think it's B. For the loops, aren't there 2 ways of going around?

EDIT: Or is it down to preference, and the fact that the first diagram has a "1" for a loop justifies it?

Apply your logic to the first diagram.
Are you saying that there are two ways to go from B to B by taking the loops in different directions?
In the first diagram, it is interpreted as only one way.
So, no, the answer 'B' would be wrong as there is only one path from B to B.
And yeah your 'edit' is right. (:

P.s. This is networks, yeah?

It was actually a question in the matrices module.

And I see what you're saying. I've learnt for next time. (I'm always in a rush when doing matrices because I hardly drop a mark).

Thanks :)
