Good to think about these situations as it builds a sort of pseudo experience.

Many years ago in motorcycle training they had us lock up the rear wheel at slow speed (15-20 mph) to get an idea of what it felt like. Of course, there's 2 schools of thought on this. MSF says ride out the skid, others say release it esp if the bike is still tracking straight. Releasing it if the *** end starts coming around usually results in a highside (bike bucking you off). Regardless of the outcome, we now had some idea what a locked up rear wheel felt like.

To answer your question, option A. If you do much of anything else she may freak out and hit the gas hard or manage to somehow lose control of the car. Back to bikes again, we were taught to always have an escape route. Not very easy with a car, but you do have control over how close you stop to the car in front. I'll usually leave at least 3/4 of a car length or more.
