choose:specific/opt:dedicated

Nowadays, people are more likely to … for their smart phone cameras, rather than a … device like a point-and-shoot camera or video camcorders to take pictures or video of fun, casual or spontaneous moments.

(A) choose:specific (B) opt:dedicated

The answer is (B). But I am wondering why not (A)

“choose for” is not right in that sentence. It would have to be just “choose”.
