I'm not sure if I should go with Option A or Option D. Maybe I should just ask the teller at the bank - they seem to have all the answers!

Ah, the age-old dilemma: do we freeze the assets or just change the risk profile? I'd say Option D is the safest bet, but Option C could be a good backup plan if you're feeling adventurous.
