There are different possibilities to form this sentence, but in your case it's a.
The verb in German is always second place (doesn't mean the second word, tho).

"The verb is always the second element in a German sentence. With compound verbs, the second part of the verb goes last, but the conjugated part is still second. German sentences are usually "time, manner, place." After a subordinate clause / conjunction, the verb goes last."

Thanks for the reply.
Excuse me i forgot to mention the answer i want.
The question is "do you like drinking Jägermeister?"
If i want to answer "no, i don't like drinking Jägermeister" in German, that would be A?

He is just messing with you ;)
Negation with "nicht" is quite tricky, tho. My students always had problems with it. You just remember that the verb is second place. Thus, the second answer will be always wrong.
If you don't drink something at all, you would use kein anyways. I mean, Jägermeister is disgusting and not drinking it at all is the better choice, anyways ;)
Not liking Jäger doesn't mean you do not drink it, you just prefer not to. It's absolutley polite to say, you do not drink Jäger, at all.
Ich drinke kein Jäger.
