Ignoring the conflict seems really risky, but I wonder if some people might actually choose that option if they think it won't affect the outcome.

I feel like requesting a formal mediation process could be a good way to handle it, but I can't recall if that's a common practice in these situations.

C is the obvious choice. Disclose it and let the client or employer decide how to proceed. Besides, trying to hide it would be like wearing a neon sign that says 'I'm untrustworthy'.
