This is another quiz from a grammar textbook. The book says "b" is better than "a", but I don't understand why.

The operation will be done on their cousin.
The reason why B sounds more natural is because a synonym for "to operate," is "to control,"
If you operate the cousin, it means you're controlling them.
The cousin isn't being controlled. Therefore, we add "on."
The cousin is being operated on (having a controlled change, "having surgery,")
