Well, B is definitely not correct for one single reason: you already have the IP, so you know who the ISP is and you could definitely get come info. C&D are more efetive when you already have some information mapped...however quite questionable when you only have some IPs. A...for A you don't need any prerequisites hence it makes a lot of sense to be A.
