Certainly among your proposals C is the best choice but if I can give my advice:
1) wait another two weeks until the btc fork when it's worth over $ 7,000 and the alts are much lower now .... so you'll always have your 3 btc but you'll be able to buy a lot more coins and you'll also have money free from bitcoin s2x (you can resell or hold)
2) Do not buy only 3-4 coins but divide your investment into at least 10 coins
3) if you can keep your investment for at least 2-3 years (5 years in crypto does not exist :-) then i will advise you:
iota-omg-elixir (you already know) but still
Neo - Qtum - Shift - Sys - Kore - Eidoo - Xby - Stratis - Radium - Nav - Xspec
Good luck and do your research
There will be no fork. Everyone was stacking up BTC-s to get free coins out of thin air due to the fork, but thats not gonna happen. Now people will sell some of their BTC, and invest more on alts again.
If you listen to me, you will buy some alts now, before their price compared to BTC rise again.
