C - I would not cut it. A & C both have the same amout of fabric up to the wonky part which could be used in a scrappy or A & C would have the extra length to cut a longer strip. (assuming of course the scale is 1")

I once made myself a dress in which I loved the fit of the bodice. I wanted to make another with that pattern and found that the most important piece was missing. Yes it was that front piece of the bodice. So I dug out the pieces left from making the first dress. I laid out all the scraps and found the outline of what I wanted, so I cut it from that. But lo and behold, before I sewed the dress, I found the missing pattern piece. I was almost half an inch off. I would have needed to pay more attention to the grain lines of the fabric to get it right. So I finished the second dress and wore it many times. In those days women wore dresses, even around the farm.

If I didn't know just what I would use it for and I could only afford one piece I'm a buy C type for the same reason others have stated...more fabric. But of course the first best answer would be to buy all three. Is this a hypothetical question just for interest as to how most of us think or do things? Pretty entertaining!

I cannot stand chunks cut from a piece of fabric. I cut a whole strip off for what ever I am cutting. I would take the largest which would be C probably, then I will whack it straight because I love scraps and do cut those up at some point.
