You could use A or B, but there are a couple of problems with this sentence:

1) Tenses don't match - "he is" should be followed by "he knows".
2) In BrE at least, I believe we would say "Child though he is..."

I agree. It should say "different".

They are both possible but mean different things.

See above.
