I think option C could also be helpful. Hearing success stories might give her more confidence in disclosing her disability.

Haha, I wouldn't want to be the one to discuss her disability with the boss behind her back. That's a recipe for disaster!

I disagree with option B. Telling her not to disclose is risky and could backfire. She needs to be aware of her rights under the ADA.
