B Natural answer

I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle, but probably closer to a night owl. I can work late and sometimes I’m most creative after dinner. Still, my schedule doesn’t let me stay up too long, so I’ve learned to and keep my evenings calmer. That helps me stay productive the next day. I’m also at night because there are fewer distractions. On the other hand, I try to when I can, just to recharge.
