Let's analyze each of the options given in the question to understand why only films based on [A] and [B] have been made from Booker Prize-winning novels:
[A] Life of Pi:
The novel Life of Pi was written by Yann Martel and won the Booker Prize in 2002. It was successfully adapted into an acclaimed, Oscar-winning feature film directed by Ang Lee in 2012. Therefore, this novel has been adapted into a film.

The novel The Remains of the Day was written by Kazuo Ishiguro and won the Booker Prize in 1989. It was adapted into a highly acclaimed film in 1993, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, which received multiple Academy Award nominations. Therefore, this novel has also been adapted into a film.
