I'd go with D. Linking the text file to an existing database is the most straightforward approach here.

Haha, I bet James will accidentally create a new database and be really confused when he can't find his Sales database anymore. Option C is a classic IT blunder!

I'm not sure, but I think A could also be a possibility.

I think B is the correct answer. You don't want the data in the text file to affect the existing table, so copying it into a new table is the way to go.
