I believe it's pretty easy to reject C, D, and E for the reasons
summarised in draft #6.
As far as G goes:

This strategy ("Make everybody attach to only one ISP") was never
seriously proposed. The IPv6 plan has been based since ~1996 on multiple
PA prefixes per site (and therefore multiple addresses per host), which is
suggested by section 4.4.2 of RFC1887. That's still the plan of record
for IPv6.
RFC1887 never had any authority anyway - it was essentially a WG discussion
document.
So, we can certainly reject G, because it doesn't work, but please don't
assert that it was ever recommended for IPv6.
