I'd choose B, but only if the engineer is a _welding_ expert. Otherwise, they might just stare at it and say 'Yep, that's a weld alright.'

B is the smart move. Better get that engineering input before making any calls. Can't be too careful with these things, you know?

C is the way to go! The inspector should definitely determine if the weld is still good for the job. Don't just assume it needs fixing.
