Well you can't 2-hex Jab somebody who's adjacent to you, so apparently you can't combine a Charge Attack with a 2-hex Jab. Ergo, confusion.

I think it's simply that option (b) is titled "Charge Attack" Which is misleading; it's simply any attack in which you move up to half your MA and perform a permitted attack. This may be a "charge attack" or a normal attack, or a jab, or a thrown weapon - it doesn't have to be a "Charge Attack" as defined on p111.
