Thanks for the help. I understand the risks associated with holding the position and it's not ideal, but i am ok taking additional risk in order to minimize taxes.

I having a tough time understanding the AMT tax credit. In both scenarios A and B, if when I sell the shares it's a qualifying disposition, should I assume I will eventually get all/a lot of the AMT credit back? (Ignoring inflation and opportunity cost of putting up a larger amount of cash in scenario A)

If that is the case it seems like scenario A is better than B since if i exercising everything today, I could completely exit my position 1 year from now compared to scenario B which may take years? In which case I should only considering scenarios A and C?
