The Star Sirius (α Canis Majoris)is Actually a Binary Star

The star Sirius (α Canis Majoris) is actually a binary star in which the brighter,more massive star (Sirius A) is an A-type main-sequence star and the fainter,less massive star (Sirius B) is a white dwarf.How is this system MOST likely to have formed?

A) Sirius A formed as a single star and later captured a passing white dwarf.
B) Sirius B formed first and evolved to become a white dwarf; capture of gas and dust from interstellar clouds then resulted in the formation of Sirius A.
C) Sirius B was initially more massive than Sirius A and evolved faster; it then became less massive due to mass loss to space and mass transfer to Sirius A.
D) Sirius A was always the more massive of the two and became a red giant; then mass transfer to Sirius B accelerated the evolution of Sirius B and caused it to become a white dwarf.
