JEA says a batter cannot jump or step out of the batter's box to hit the ball.

As it's a legal hit if the foot is not both on the ground and completely out of the box, then I think that a step out is not accomplished until both conditions are met.

Therefore in A) if he hits it before the conditions are met it's a hit and if not he's out.

Same logic should apply for B) and C) as to whether he's out of the box or not.

The several JEA plays on 6.06 are consistent in saying the foot must be on the ground and completely out of the box to have a violation.
