For 9 I’m going with option 2. However the problem could exist that it would actually make an earthquake less destructive if it broke up some of the spots where the transform fault was building up pressure.
But then the nuclear destruction could make up for some of that.
I read a book lo many years ago where they decided to go spelunking and then didg down deep into the New Madrid fault to light up an a-bomb to relieve pressure to avoid an imminent quake.

It worked great in that fictional scenario.
Just remember you have 3 bombs and those are his desired uses of all three. Win Win Win.
