3) bracket across chain stays directly behind bottom bracket.
Yall are talking about two different things, and are both right.
Fenders have three points (generally unless you're running raceblades or something) - Dropout, brake bridge, stay bridge.
Racks need two points of mounting: dropouts and seat stays somewhere (or post mount but lets just not open cans of worms)
The RXM has eyelets only on the dropout, not on the seat stays, so mounting a rack would require P clamps on the stays somewhere to put the top mounting point on. The lower stays can use the same dropout position as the fenders.
