Solution

The correct option is B Subject: A guilty conscience; Predicate: needs no excuse
A guilty conscience is being talked about in the sentence, followed by the verb needs, indicating that the former does the work in the sentence. Thus, A guilty conscience is the subject, the rest being the predicate, since it talks about the subject. hence, option A is the correct answer.
