I feel like there's a joke in here somewhere about iMacs and responsiveness. 'How do you disable an unresponsive iMac? Hold the Shift key!' *rimshot*

Ah, the old 'hold Command-S' trick. Classic. But I'd rather not mess with single-user mode if I don't have to. I'm going with A - simple and effective.

I prefer option D as well, using Terminal to delete login items seems more direct.

Hmm, I'm not sure about A. What if I need to do more than just disable login items? Option B seems more comprehensive, even if it's a bit more work.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Start the iMac to OS X Recovery and delete all login items could also work.

I agree with Cathern, Safe Boot is a good way to disable login items.

Option D looks good to me. Why take the long way when you can just jump straight to the Terminal and delete the login items? That's the most direct solution.

I've had success with using Terminal to delete login items before. It's definitely worth a try.

I think option A is the way to go. It's the quickest and easiest way to disable login items without having to mess around with Recovery Mode or Terminal.
