"The president fills only the role of head of state" is correct. The Queen's role in the political process is very much limited, as Britain has transformed into a representitive democracy.

Option A i.e The President fills the roles of head of state and head of government is the correct answer.
The President of United States is directly elected by people and is thus the real executive. There is no hereditary king/queen or indirectly elected Prime Minister and thus the President is head of both the government and the state. On the other hand, the Queen in England is hereditary head of the state while as directly elected Prime Minister is the head of the government.
