B. With multiple steps in the instruction manual, we were unsure of the solution when the wheel detached from the bicycle.
It has the most details. The steps aren't "so many" or "many" as in the other choices, but "multiple" - which is more specific because we know there are just a few steps, not hundreds. Furthermore, not knowing what to do is more descriptive than not knowing what to do.
