    As given, the "B" versions are better. Though you could have thought of better examples—there are ALWAYS students in the class; otherwise it wouldn't be a class! But, the "A" versions become usable if a restrictive clause is added: Is there any student in the class who likes chocolate? – Brian Hitchcock Sep 13 '15 at 12:02

Since you expect to have more than one student in a class you would say 1B:

There aren't any students in the class.

But if you only expected one, you could use the singular:

There isn't any teacher for the class.
