______ computers are on sale. Let's go buy one. (A) Hundred (B) Two hundred (C) Two hundreds (D) Hundred of
The answer is B. But I think choice B sounds very odd. None of the choices is correct. Am I right?

B is right.
Also good, given that the verb is in the plural:
A hundred computers
Two hundred computers
Hundreds of computers

I agree with CP.
I think the reason it sounds so odd is because no one would ever say that exact phrase.
Now, you might hear "Two hundred DS Lites are on sale. Let's go buy one!" or maybe "Two hundred Wiis are on sale. Let's go buy one!"
