It's not that deep:
1- In the case of natural evils: C. God causes them, but they are morally neutral from the spiritual perspective. If what matters is salvation and glory to God it doesn't change anything if you died by tornado or by anything else, and inevitable death might even be a net positive individually and to others (Ind: the person might repent about something, social: seeing the frailness of life leads to less self love, while increasing compassion)
2- In the case of human caused evils: B with an asterisk. Given that He has imposed upon Himself the restriction of respecting free will, He won't stop people from doing evil deeds, even though He wants them to do good and He can make them do it. Why God chooses to do it like this is a mistery and doesn't really matter, but it seems to be because He wants people to freely choose to worship Him.
