Option D would be my vote, and most experienced professional pilots will tell you the same thing.

Aviation degrees of any sort are pretty much worthless in the real world (except engineering degrees).

Flight technology is completely useless, it's kind of like having a degree in welding...you will still get paid the same as any other welder, but if you cannot weld the degree will not help you get a job in any other field. It's basically a vocational certificate that checks the 4-year degree box for airlines.

Av. management could help you get a job in airport operations if that's what you want to do, but it is a poor backup degree because a lot of pilots have one and if times are tough you will competing with thousands of other unemployed pilots for whatever non-flying jobs are available. Business management combined with airline experience should make you eligible for many airport ops jobs...as well as a plethora of real-world jobs.
