B. Sting

Explanation
In J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, "The Hobbit," Bilbo Baggins names his sword "Sting." This name is given to the weapon because whenever Orcs are nearby, the sword glows with a blue light, warning Bilbo of their presence. The name "Sting" reflects the sword's ability to sting and cause harm to Bilbo's enemies, particularly the Goblins and Orcs that he encounters on his journey.
