The Answer would C, if C was correct, but C lists 300.11 which is NOT a valid 2026 code, the answer, is really in 300.13, where we discover that if the ceiling grid has support wires that are supporting said ceiling grid, we cannot use those wire supports as supports for our raceway or cable assembly, we can however use independent support wires for such systems, as long we comply with 300.13(B)(2) and its requirements. So we will correct it by answering ourselves.
