You want to follow EIA/TIA 568-B wiring, which would be row B. Punch down the wiring based on the colours provided on the panel and/or plate connectors.

You want straight-through cabling, which means B needs to be wired to B on the other end. If you wire B to A you get what is known as crossover, which is not what you want on any structured cabling.
