I feel like using default certificates in D could lead to vulnerabilities. I think A is the way to go for optimal security with less overhead, but I need to double-check my notes.

I'm a bit hesitant about A because continuous monitoring sounds like it could add complexity. Wouldn't separate authorities in B be safer, even if it means more management?
