  #-Link-Snipped-# ---option b) and c) are relavant but a) need not be relavant
  because nowadays inlet valve is being controlled by ecu (i mean the timing)
  the timing of opening of inlet valve deponds on many factors such as
  1--mass flow of air for the engine at particular rpm(measured by MAP sensor)
  i.e if engine runs at low rpm it requires less fuel mixture( inlet valve timing gets decreased)
  if the engine is at higher rpm obviously it require more fuel mixture within short span of time

  Option b is exactly what you're asking for. Because, without the crankshaft the energy cannot be transferred from piston to the gear box and thus the combustion cycle cannot be occur.

  All three options are correct as Crankshaft is a reckon of any Engine.
  Let me explain it with points below:
  *Crankshaft are designed to have counter weight which helps to balance the rotation. It also balance the harmonic oscillation of act of shaft.
  *It converts reciprocating motions into rotating motion with the help of Connecting rod piston and Pin.
  *It transfer POWER from piston to Flywheel, which helps to use further in Automobile systems.
  *It is the main source of all rotating parts in Engine.
  *Crankshaft connects with oil gear pump in sump, water pump, fan(in old), Valves(Timing gear) via either belts or chain even in cars with ECU.
  *the design of Crankshaft and Camshaft on Valves are HIGHLY responsible to get correct firing order.
