CBP's answer: A. A: 7018.10.20

Heading 7018 covers glass beads, imitation pearls, and imitation precious or semiprecious stones, and 7018.10.20 is the line for imitation precious or semiprecious stones (except beads), so A is right. Chapter 71 headings 7103 and 7104 are for real or synthetic stones, not glass imitations.
