The answer is B, but when viewed top --> bottom, why not C?

Because its missing a hole for the attachment thats found in answer A

If you mean the little protruding square, than C does consider it if you look at it from a top --> bottom POV. If the original figure did not have that protruding part, it would be a square.

From those views, the width of B and C should be the same. The width of B and C are really close, so I don't think the width in answer C is wrong. So I'm guessing it has something to do with its height. My guess is that it should be a bit taller for C to be correct.

i agree except the height of C should be smaller. the solid red, green and yellow show the edges of the answer choices in correlation to the actual image (Yellow and red is dotted in the actual image due to the blue square) The red line is a length of one side of the blue square, so the pink is the extra length added to the square to give the actual height in answer C. I believe the height in C should be a little bit shorter...just my two cents

Staring at it longer, I think you're correct. It would look pretty off if it was any higher.
