Yes, it definitely doesn’t work with A or C. It might work with B, because judging whether a poem is Shakespeare-level or not is heavily entangled with human society and culture and it may turn out that manipulating humans to rave about whatever you wrote (whether it’s actually Shakespeare-level poetry or not) might be easier. I expect not, but it’s hard to be sure. I would certainly put C as safer than B.
That was my intuition as well. A and C are just not entangled with the physical world at all. B is a maybe; it’s a big leap from poetry to taking over the world, but humans are something that has to be modelled and that’s where trouble starts.

Everything else is obviously much more dangerous.
