a is correct. And it is not quite the same.
How dare you do this to me? is a rhetorical question.
How could you do this to me? might be rhetorical but it might also expect an answer or explanation. |

I completely understand the usage I previously posted.
How dare you do this to me? or How could you do this to me?
Then, Which sentence is correct?
1. I dare you to jump off the building.
2. I dare you jump off the building. |
