I personally prefer option C) Route based on originating port ID because it ensures that traffic from the same port always uses the same uplink, which can help with troubleshooting.

I disagree, I believe option D) Route based on physical NIC load is better as it distributes the load evenly across all physical NICs.

Option D seems the most logical choice since it's based on physical NIC load. That way, the traffic is distributed evenly across the NICs.
