Haha, Option D is the classic 'head in the sand' approach. Definitely don't recommend that one!

Option C is a bit unprofessional, though it might be how I feel sometimes. We should try to maintain a constructive tone.

I would go with Option A. It's direct and sets the expectation that I can't proceed without the updated design document.
