I believe the answer is b. a regular sentence would say "the director sat at the back of the theater" but, this sentence is kind of backwards/ inverted so that it's is switched around

So,

"Inverted word order" means that the predicate (all of it) comes before the subject (all of it).

Option B is in inverted word order.
Natural word order:
The director sat at the back of the theater.
