I chose A, as the fandoms I've written in are really easy ones for knowing the complete canon, being book-fandoms. For TV series fandoms I think it's OK if one knows at least a good portion of the source well, but seeing every last episode probably isn't necessary (some episodes are necessary, if they change the story's direction, have significant character development, etc).
It's enormously important to know the canon of one's fandom, if for no other reason that it's good to deviate from it on purpose rather than accidentally.
