Techguy,
C goes to the battery pos. terminal through the red battery cable you have labeled "D" in the upper pic.

In the lower pic of the starter, B provides source voltage to the starter motor (from C) when the solenoid is energized. B usually has an insulated metal connector leading into the motor. Not sure about the frayed braided wire I see.

However, if B is grounded when the solenoid energizes, there will be a direct short to ground, thus the melted wire hanging off of the B terminal. That was probably the weakest link in the source circuit and it melted.

The control wires, E and F, may have melted because of the heat generated by the short circuit.

My best guess, but compare color code with the wiring diagram to be sure.
