An interactive relationship exists when the relationship between the independent and dependent variables changes depending on the level of another variable (the control variable in this case). The need to describe the partial effect separately for each category of the control variable indicates that the relationship is not additive or zero-order, and it also rules out a spurious relationship. Therefore, the best choice is B - interactive.
