The question to be asked when considering A vs. C is whether you can be "during a FT" when you are in a timeout.

The purpose of C is/was to speed up the game a little by not allowing subs at a time that would be of no additional value over making them wait until before the last shot. Allowing a sub in the middle of the timeout has no impact on the flow of the game.
