B.) No, but you will receive a warning and must choose to continue. To prevent most issues, you must also use a non-default install location, and this is only intended for advanced users.
Per the warning message:
Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell
(cmd/powershell).
You may experience errors - many functions/packages
require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an
elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure
that you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected. If you are
attempting to use Chocolatey in a non-administrator setting, you
must select a different location other than the default install
location. See
https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#non-administrative-install
for details.

b) Is the correct answer. Pacages ending with .portable are (usually) installable for users without administrative permissions.
