Option D? Really? Involving an external system just to store audit trails? That's like using a bazooka to kill a fly. B is the way to go, folks.

Option A sounds like a lot of work. Who wants to write a custom plugin when you can just let the database handle it? B is the winner, no doubt.

Option C seems like overkill. Why add an entire process just to capture audit trails? Option B is the clear winner here.
