Ok,
The company has replied back.

Diagram B is correct. It will cause better compression

generally the bevel goes towards the side the ring is doing the work on. for example on a four stoke your top ring is the compression ring so the bevel goes up. the second ring is an oil ring so the bevel goes down towards the oil.
