Haha, renaming root to a random name? That's definitely not a best practice. I'll go with option C as well.

Hmm, I'm not sure about option A. Portknocking seems a bit outdated and unnecessary if you can just disable root SSH access.

I agree with Lorean. Option C is the way to go. Completely disabling SSH is a bit extreme, and renaming root is just silly.

Option C looks like the best choice here. Disabling SSH access for root is a common security practice to prevent unauthorized access.
