I agree with Alex, plaintext seems like a safer option for the attacker.

Option C all the way! Gotta love those multiple pipe characters. It's like seasoning for your log file, am I right?

Ah, the age-old new line injection question. Option C is the way to go, my friend. Multiple pipe characters are the hackers' weapon of choice.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm leaning towards option D, just to spice things up a bit. Inject some HTML tags, make the log file more interesting, you know?
