I believe the answer is: B. It denies enforceability to certain contracts that are not in writing

Statute of frauds stated that to be legally binding, an agreement should be materialized in a contract that filled with a specific obligation that must be met by each party under the circumstances that they both agreed on. If this writing do not exist, technically we wouldn't have any ground to sue if the other party failed to fulfill the obligation.
