Option A, huh? 'lsmod --remove --autoclean' without naming the module? Sounds like a great way to clean up your system... or accidentally nuke it. I'll pass on that one!

Yeah, using modprobe to remove the module is a good approach too. Just be careful with the syntax.

I've used option C before and it worked fine for me. Just make sure you specify the name of the offending module.

Hmm, Option B with modinfo seems a bit roundabout. I'd probably go for the simple blacklist route in Option D.

Ooh, Option E sounds like an adventure! Recompiling the kernel, huh? That's a bold move, but I'm not sure I'm feeling that adventurous today.
