C is interesting, but let's be real - most people threatening to encrypt VMs are just looking to make a quick buck, not to understand the infrastructure.

Ha! I bet the hacker's thinking, 'Gotta get that consulting gig somehow.' Option B is just wishful thinking.

I'd go with A as well. Holding virtual infrastructure hostage is a surefire way to get the attention of the owners and pressure them to pay up.

Definitely option A. Threatening to encrypt a hypervisor is a classic ransomware tactic to extort money from victims. It's a despicable but unfortunately common practice.
