I agree with all on this page.
The original sentence, version
(A), lacks a verb --- it commits the famous
missing verb mistake.

to consider P Q. Examples
I consider Goethe a genius.
I consider QQQ a sound investment.
I consider a day off a rare treat.
See
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/consider-t ... mat-idiom/In the passive voice, the idiom is:
P is considered Q.
Goethe is considered a genius.
QQQ is considered a sound investment.
A day off is considered a rare treat.(Of course, stating those in the passive, without the original subject, makes them sound like generally revered truths!)
So, " ....
Pele .. is considered the greatest soccer player." Only
(B) gets the grammar and the idiom correct.
