I'm going with Option D. It's the only one that doesn't sound like a recipe for disaster or a lack of transparency.

Option C is a bit concerning. Managers shouldn't be able to manipulate review results just to meet salary budgets. That's not fair to employees.

Option D seems to be the most comprehensive answer. The performance review should be used as one of the factors in determining appropriate rewards or consequences.
