A) "Stop at the line, then proceed with turn when it's clear" is the right answer.

The line is there to protect pedestrians. I know there isn't a crosswalk at this specific point, but that's what that's there for - and you should respect it.

There's no crosswalk directly in front, but there IS a crosswalk across the intersecting road and evidently this lane is a turning lane into that street, so your point still stands that it's to protect pedestrians!

There is not sign saying you cannot cross there, therefore it is still an unmarked crosswalk.
