Option A looks good, but I'm not sure about the 'latest' tag. Wouldn't it be better to use the commit hash like in Option B?

But using the current timestamp like in Option C could also be a good approach for versioning.

Haha, a Scheduler job to check the repo every minute? That's overkill! I'd go with Option B and keep it simple.

I agree, option B is the best choice for tracking source code versions.
