Personally, I'm going with D but with some caveats. Snowden has long preached the 'encryption works but the endpoints are so weak that it often doesn't matter'. I've always read this as 'encryption works when it's done right. And it's almost never done right'. This might have been a hint about Heartbleed, but I doubt it. I don't see Snowden as the type of man who'd put the entire world's security at risk just in the interests of US National Security. This is why I've long been an advocate of total disclosure. I think the document holders should publish everything they have. After they do that, they could continue to 'leak release' documents with detailed explanations for those who are too lazy or too confused by the documents to sift through them and read them but having a document dump out there would make the process of disclosure /much/ faster. And it would freak the NSA out - a happy plus. I say fuck national security. These guys are burning down the entire world just to further their agenda. They deserve no consideration, even if it does put them at a disadvantage. Me - -- Want to communicate with me privately?
