Answer

The answer is actually B. Planning :)

Answer

I agree with the others. B is the best answer as I know. 
The only possibility that planner is a correct answer is referred to the following explanation from dictionary:

Planner: a book, chart, computer program, etc. that contains dates and is used for recording information, arranging meetings, etc.

Answer

I agree with the others - the only possible answer is B: "...detailed planning of the schedule would..."

A planner can be a person who plans, or it can be a kind of journal where you write your plans. Neither of these answers fits.

Answer

I agree with Chloe, the answer provided by the test is incorrect. Also your understanding of "planner" is correct.
