Wait, so we're supposed to get the context of the Lightning page without writing any tests? Sounds like a job for the magical App Builder fairies. D all the way!

A? Really? Adding force:hasSobjectName to the implements attribute? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. D is the way to go, no doubt.

Hmm, B seems a bit too complicated. Why use an Apex class when we can just use the built-in Aura capabilities? I'd go with D.
