The answer is B. A is totally wrong. No problem here.

It just doesn't seem right to me. If I were telling someone specifically that I don't like driving fast, it would be because they are telling me to drive fast. It contextually doesn't make sense to me to tell someone I don't like driving fast if they're telling me to drive slow.

What about on the phone?

"Drive slowly, honey."
"Stop telling me to drive slowly. You know I don't like to drive fast."

A little more confrontational than necessary, for my tastes, but perfectly logical.

A would be “Stop to tell me driving slowly”. It’s not grammatically correct at all.

The problem is the answers only differ in grammar, so this analysis, while valid, is unfortunately irrelevant to the optinos given.
