Majestic Chess HELP!!!

How do you beat the sphinx's challenge in level/chapter 7? He asks you to make the one move that does NOT checkmate Black. I can't figure it out!

Hello!!! I am playing a game called Majestic Chess. Can anyone help me? All I need is an answer to Chapter 7, the sphinx's challenge. Can ANYONE HELP ME?!!! What is the one move that does not checkmate Black? It is White's move. The setup is below:

You have white pawns on:
---B2, C4, E2, E3, G4, H2

You have black pawns on:
---B3, E5, G5, H3

You have white bishops on:
---A8, H7

You have a black bishop on:
---C5

You have white castles on:
---G6, H8

You have a black castle on:
---B7

You have white knights on:

It is White's move. And I need to find the ONE move that does NOT checkmate Black.
