I'd go with B. Explain the benefits of self-management and let them see how it can improve their work. Maybe throw in a joke about managers being like 'task overlords' or something.

C is a big no-no. Rigidly implementing Scrum without buy-in is a recipe for disaster. The team will just rebel against it.

A is a terrible idea. Dividing tasks is the opposite of self-management. The team needs to learn Scrum, not just be told what to do.

D is the way to go. Agile is about adapting the process to the team, not the other way around. Forcing Scrum on them won't work.

B sounds good to me. If they understand the benefits, they'll be more willing to change. Scrum is all about empowering the team, not micromanaging them.
