But this does not make sense because then player 1 will know that player 2 will play X, so Player 1 would have been better off playing A or B over C.
Exactly, but B is never a preferable option over A, so the only rational option is for Player 1 to have chosen A in the first place, so any circumstance in which Player 2 has a move necessitates an irrational Player 1. The probability of Player 1 ever selecting B to maximize utility is always 0.
