No your hand has more equity at this stage (top 1/2 or 50%+ fav) vs his
range so you should raise, just like any std raise pre-flop.
(& the size of the 3bet (usually 12bb) is balanced so that it is big enough for him to generally be making a mistake to call with the bottom end of his range but small enough that it is also a mistake for him to fold too much & wait for hands in the real top part of his range to play back with.)
(When you raise/3bet a low sc pre flop - a hand likely to be significantly behind your opponents range, this is essentially a bluff.)
I think but don't take my word for it.
I think this makes A the best option. Since the majority of people at 50nl are so clueless in 3 bet pots they are garenteed to make a mistake 99% of the time when they aren't holding AA or KK.

I think B against good players could have some merits however I have no means to try this out since being at 50nl. Can some of the other higher stakes players confirm this?

I think he mean's along the lines of noble's post. People will make the mistake of folding too much with the middle part of his range or not enough with the bottom part of his range which our range dominates. Plus it gives us the initiative postflop leading opp to make similar mistakes postflop.
