In this position White has a beautiful focred mate in five, so answer C) is correct:

1.Bxg7+! Kxg7 2.Qh6+!!
The point - Black's king is dragged into a discovered double-check.

2...Kxh6
[2...Kh8 3.Bg6+ Kg8 4.Qh7# ]

3.Nf5+ Kg5 4.Ne4+ Kg4 5.Rh4#
or 5.Ne3++. This brilliancy was published far more than 100 years ago - in May 1890 on page 155 of International Chess Magazine. (Source: "A Chess Omnibus", Edward Winter, Russel Enterprises, Inc., 2003) *
