White has a good position - what is now his best move?

This is from a game by Bobby Fisher vs pal benko, 1963.

a) Qh5 x h7+ Going for the mate much too quickly, and losing the queen 1 point
b) e4 - e5 Going for the mate on h7 more subtly, but unfortunately the reply f5 would scupper white's attack 3 points
c) Rf1 - f4 Aiming for Rh4 and mate on h7. again f7 stopped white's (slower) plan. 2 points
d) Rf1 - f6 Sacrificing the rook to stop f5. After Bxf6 then e4-e5 wins. 4 points
e) Rf1 x f7 Sacrificing therook for no gain 1 point
f) Nc3 - d5 Moving the threatened knight, but t oa square where it can be safely taken. 2 points
