You didn't specify "only use B"
IdentitiesOnly
Specifies that ssh should only use the authentication identity
files configured in the ssh_config files, even if the ssh-agent
offers more identities. The argument to this keyword must be
"yes" or "no". This option is intended for situations where
ssh-agent offers many different identities. The default is "no".
