The definition of static stretches, as told by www.humankinetics.com, is "a stretch that is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time, typically 15-30 seconds"

With that being said, there is no real way to determine if it is 'safe' or 'unsafe' stretch, but the best option here is option B)
safe, because it stretches the muscle and joint without causing pain
