Of these, I am going to assume that you mean by "C" that the entire universe: existence, memories, history, etc., have only existed for a nano-second, and that our belief that it has lasted longer is a mere artifact of the fact that the universe blinked into existence with the appearance that these memories are real. There is no evidence for that.

No evidence? There's no evidence against it. It is one of the possible states of the universe, and as equally possible as any other.

Oh, dear God. I hope that this isn't what your whole coin toss analogy was all about. If so, then all I can say is that in a wholly and truly random process, no one state or outcome is more likely than any other, subject to the specifics of the process. Existence is not a wholly and truly random process. Thus, your statement that blinking into existence is as possible as any other states of the universe is not only wrong, but ridiculously so.
