Most appropriate option, in my opinion is B .

If rahul uses option A he would be wrong ethically. 

With regard to option C, there is nothing wrong if a PM tries to mitigate his project risks.

Negotiations should be win/win, so negotiating a price below the seller's estimate is not the best choice. A fair and equitable price will help to create a good working relationship between the buyer and the seller. Otherwise, you will pay later, through change orders.
