Which continuation is the best: A, B, C or D?

To quote the creator, unkx80:

One of my favourite compositions to date is Beginner Exercise 45, which is arguably a beginner level problem because it search space is very small and it has very few variations, but curiously a large number of dan players failed to get it right.

I also failed it.

I thought long and hard and found a series of different seki and ko, but missed the key.

It’s a status puzzle.

That means you have to find the result if Black plays first and if White plays first.
