Correct B. The first link provided is useless, don't waste your time. The second link is good. You can in place upgrade even from a Windows 7.

Why not option A (Refresh to Windows10 and use USMT)?

Faster(cheaper) and "The installation must retain the user files, settings, and supported applications."

You could keep user files with USMT, but I still agree with you - and Im pretty sure that Micrsoft actually recommends an in-place-upgrade in these cases.

A cannot be used because applications won't be retained.

Because in this environment you have a Microsoft 365 tenant, you are already in the cloud using the modern way, not on-premisses. If you had just an on-premises Active Directory domain then you would use USMT. Check the Page 10 Question #55: https://www.examtopics.com/exams/microsoft/md-101/view/10/
