Question

I got this question wrong on a quiz.  Can you explain why "A is invertible because there are no rows of all zeros in B" isn't true?  

After studying some more, I think the correct answer would be "A is invertible because A has four pivot points".  I'm just not sure why "A is invertible because there are no rows of all zeros in B" is not a valid choice as well.
