Answer: (B)
Mozart was not just curious about Beethoven. He wanted to help cultivate the latter's genius. While, there is no word meaning 'curious', 'solicitude' implies a concern for someone. That is you want to see how a person is getting along to make sure everything is going well with them. In this sentence, Mozart had a deeper motive.
