C and D are death traps for a right hook. I don't understand A at all.
Where your B position is located you encourage cars to pull up beside you to turn right, or to go straight. It is the ones that pull up beside you to go straight that are dangerous. Don't leave room for them.
Don't let anything ever pass you in your lane if at all possible.
I always get in position B in the left tire track. I don't think there is anything dangerous about being courteous and letting right turners get by. I've never had a motorist try to pull up alongside and go straight and I don't see why they would.
Also to the OP, I would only take position C or D at an intersection where it's not possible for vehicles to turn right.
