B is the way to go. If the demand is mostly random, then a slow-responding forecast can help filter out the noise and give a more accurate prediction. Although, it does sound a bit like a Magic 8-Ball approach to forecasting.

I agree with Annice, because seasonal patterns are predictable and don't change quickly.
