I'm going to say A because the owners are the ones that control who the witnesses are... While the witnesses may make the rules, they will lose their support from the big boys if they go in the wrong direction. That's just my thought!

I think it starts with the witnesses, in my humble opinion. They set the culture and the literal rules to the forks, how everything is executed in the platform. The funny thing is that witnesses are also a good sized portion of the whale class as well, so yeah, they run I'd say about 80%+ of the show, we are all here as guests in the game they are hosting.

I have to believe that it's the Users :)

thank you so much for your answer Lynn :) ... It will be interesting what other people think ;)

You're welcome! I was thinking that technically there are no real rules; the whales give the illusion of control, but do they make the rules? I don't think so. The witnesses can influence the rules, but do they make them? I don't know about that one either. If it's majority rule, in a way, then maybe it's the users? I could continue, but I won't :)

lol... why don't you continue? I was wondering where you were going with this one... haha... I think it is a good existential question... Like how do we know we aren't living in a dream? How do we know we aren't in the matrix? How do we know we aren't living in a spec of dust on the butt of a gigantic elephant?

I could continue, but I won't! :P

that reminds me of whoville... One of the dr suess books... Where they all lived in their own world but it was just a spec in the real world.. good image :)

You got a 100.00% upvote from @payforplay! Please consider delegating steem power to @payforplay. We are currently sharing 100% of our profits with our delegators. That's correct, 100%! It doesn't get better than that. It is essentially running your own bid bot without doing any of the work. Steem power can be delegated here: https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html
