But isn't it more like A) Nominal? Just categories?

I think it's B) Ordinal. It ranks performance.

I’m a bit confused, though. Could it be interval since the differences between the ratings might matter?

I feel like I've seen similar questions before, and I think they said ordinal is the right choice for things like performance ratings.

I remember something about nominal being categories without order, so it can't be that.

I think it's ordinal because the ratings indicate a rank order, but I'm not completely sure.
