The most appropriate way of sharing the results is to publish in a scientific journal for peer review. So the answer is 'B'.

Explanation:

In order to validate your results in the scientific community, it is best to publish in a scientific journal and get it peer reviewed. When the article is peer reviewed, other scientists of higher caliber verify your experiment and results and then give their verdict to the outside world.

Newspapers sometimes also publish rumors. So there is no guarantee what gets published is true. the students are still learning and cannot appreciate the full extent of your work.
