This is only my personal opinion but I would use epoxy with either a red or black.
But I also like your thoughts on option A.
So really I am no help to you by giving you two to think about. I will say this I would NOT allow it to burn.
I think you have to put it aside and decide later.

Put it aside and call it 'heatwave'.

Oldgraybeard,
I think the shape of the piece and the figure are wonderful. I would take it into the house and let it acclimatize for a month or so to see if it will crack further.
If it stays together, wrap with packing tape around the fat middle and finish everything you can reach, then put a thin wrap of tape above and below and finish the part between.
What you have done with the cracks looks fine to me. It is what it is, and I like it very much.So much timber, so little time.
