Traditionally it's the cake cutting... most people do their first dances quite early, cake cutting is the signal for "nothing else of importance is happening now"...
Anyone who leaves earlier than that, like the first dance, misses all the speeches, games, beginning of dancing, etc...
They suggest you don't do the cake cutting too late due to older guests who want to leave. If you're not doing one, maybe have the last speech mention something about dessert being served, and now it's time to dance or whatever...

B - the first dance.
Funny story: an old aunt at a wedding was waiting for the couple to cut the cake to leave....the couple did not have a cake or cutting of any kind. She wasn't pleased.

I think it depends on the order of events, but I think I’d say A.

I can't give an answer too. It all depends on how the couple has their order organized.
