While option A might be convenient, hosting files on a public file sharing service is a big security risk. C is the way to go.

Haha, option D is a real knee-slapper! PHP is only for HTML content? Someone needs to update their web development knowledge.

I'm not sure about option B. Redirecting to a file in the document root doesn't seem like a good idea, as it could expose the file to unauthorized users.

I agree with Mabelle, option C using PHP to send the file with appropriate headers is the most secure way to provide access to binary files.

I think option C is the best choice because it allows us to control access to the binary files for registered users.
