fprintf() and fputs() not getting the right results

Good evening people. I am trying to print strings into a result file, however things aren't going very well. For example the contents of my data file are:

Hello, today
is a
Good Day
What is going
On here?

and the result file turns out to show:

On here?

g

This is my printing function:

void print(char B[])
{
    printf("%s", B); //NOTE; this string represents a line of data file and works!
    FILE *wfile;
    if ((wfile = fopen("result.txt","w")) == NULL){
       printf("File did not open!!!/n");
       exit(1);
   }
   fprintf(wfile, "%s", B);
}

I am at a loss guys, any kind of input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the commenters, I have realised that instead of

if ((wfile = fopen("result.txt","w")) == NULL)

I had to change the "w" to "a" since I want to append strings to the file

if ((wfile = fopen("result.txt","a")) == NULL)
