You left out C) while labour is still wage labour workers demand the *substantial* reduction of working time, in their disposable time workers develop greater scientific, artistic *and political* capabilities with which they abolish wage labour and the domination of capital. I frankly don't see "workers overthrow capitalism" as a self-evidently inevitable miracle.
