strncpy and the missing terminator

src is "TEMPERATURE" (11 characters). What is wrong with dst afterwards?

char dst[8];
strncpy(dst, src, sizeof dst);
printf("%s", dst);

A.strncpy writes 11 bytes and overflows dstB.dst contains "TEMPERA" and a null terminatorC.dst has no null terminator, so printf reads past itD.strncpy fails and leaves dst empty
