I'm skeptical that B is fully possible. You can create a PQ fork of bitcoin but you cannot automatically bring vulnerable wallets along - and there are a lot of vulnerable wallets, especially from the early days. There's a catastrophe ahead for bitcoin with an apparent probability of 1.0. That's hard to account for in this scheme.

Chance the computing is quantum and real but it doesn't scale in a way it outperforms traditional computers at any number of qubits, ever.

Chance the "good" quantum computing turns out to be as fake as the currently deemed fake quantum computing?

I would argue that the hackers will do the jobs of transferring funds from insecure wallets to secure ones very efficiently.

It would still tank the price. Right now many Bitcoins are lost because no one holds the keys any more. When they can hack it, suddenly the sell pressure significantly goes up.
