I also prefer Option C, but...

~~~

+        <varname>application_name</varname> value.
+        The bytes of other characters are replaced with
+        <link linkend="sql-syntax-strings-escape">C-style escaped hexadecimal
+        byte values</link>.

V

+        <varname>cluster_name</varname> value.
+        The bytes of other characters are replaced with
+        <link linkend="sql-syntax-strings-escape">C-style escaped hexadecimal
+        byte values</link>.

V

+      <symbol>NAMEDATALEN</symbol> characters and the bytes of other than
+      printable ASCII characters are replaced with <link
+      linkend="sql-syntax-strings-escape">C-style escaped hexadecimal byte
+      values</link>.


IIUC all of these 3 places can have exactly the same wording change
(e.g. like Karl's last suggestion [1]).

SUGGESTION
Any bytes that are not printable ASCII characters are replaced with
<link linkend="sql-syntax-strings-escape">C-style escaped hexadecimal
byte values</link>.
