In the context of the Old Testament sacrificial system, what was the primary distinction between a 'sin offering' (chatta'th) and a 'guilt offering' ('asham)?

A The sin offering was for unintentional sins, while the guilt offering was for intentional sins. B The sin offering atoned for sins against God, while the guilt offering addressed offenses requiring restitution to another person. C The sin offering was always a female animal, while the guilt offering was always a male animal. D The sin offering was offered only by priests, while the guilt offering could be offered by any Israelite.
