The first step in Evil-Twin attack is to deauth the clients from the original AP/network in order to trick them into connecting to your AP, correct answer is A. https://steemit.com/informatica/@jordiurbina1/tutorial-hacking-wi-fi-wireless-networks-with-wifislax

I believe A would be the best answer in this case. If you want the wireless stations to connect, you send deathentication requests so that on reconnecting, if your AP has a stronger signal, they will connect to that one. I will go with A here.
