Wordpress - Custom Fields and Meta Data

Cecho get_post_meta(50, 'event_date', true)->format('F j, Y');

D$date = get_post_meta(50, 'event_date', false);<br>echo date('F j, Y', strtotime($date));

Final Answer:
Option A correctly formats and displays the date -> Option A
Quick Check:
Get string date + strtotime + date() = correct format [OK]
