The IFTHENELSE() functions in option B could get pretty messy and hard to maintain. Pivot transform for the win!

Haha, using twelve query transforms to create the output? That's just overkill. Option D is the clear winner in my opinion.

I'm not sure about the merge transform in option C. Isn't that more for combining multiple inputs? I think the pivot transform is the way to go here.
