B. You are afraid you don't know how to complete, and also afraid that you will fail.
In fact you are pretty sure it will take miracle...
Such was the case for me and the squeezing of the top of the rudder leading edge, so that it only deforms into the rudder area, and not towards the edge which parallels the vertical stabilizer.
