I think option B is definitely a strong reason since knowing his job well is crucial for leadership. But I'm not sure if starting the company is enough on its own.

I'm surprised C is even an option. Why would the CEO's restricted visits to the engineering area matter for this marketing project? Seems like a bit of a red herring to me.
