Option B is the best answer to resolve the issue, as the output of the matchpathcon command indicates that the context of the files under /var/www/html is incorrect. restorecon -R -v /var/www/html will restore the default SELinux context to the files under /var/www/html, which will allow the web server to access them properly.
