What would you do?

Heading NNW up the east coast of England in my type IIB when hydophones pick up a merchant, long range, slow speed, heading away. I plot it's direction, pop up to the surface, and gun it towards an intercept point.

Turns out to be an ore carrier, 8580 tonnes, and I'm in prime position for the attack.

I'm patched up to V4, using GWX gold, manual targetting etc. My only "cheats" are the map contact updates (I'm new to manual targetting) and the event camera.

I've set up at 90 degrees off her bow, about 750 meters away from her plotted path.

My IIB only has five torps, so I don't want to be reckless and "spend them all" so to speak.

So, do I
A) fire one torp, and aim for the bow for a sloooooow sinking, or engine room/fuel bunker and hope she explodes,
B) fire two torps, and hope she goes down before the tommies arrive,
or
C) fire three torps to guarantee a quick sink, but feel rotten about possibly wasting that third eel.

What would you guys do?
