Hi,

I thought 'be in to' could also mean 'be involved in' so I had chosen (b). Is that impossible?

Yes, impossible: be into is not the same as be in on, and kept attached to does not mean be involved in. In fact, kept attached to would have no meaning in this sentence.

I am sorry for the misspelling of 'in to' for 'in on' but I got the answer I needed from you all the same. Thank you.
