API RP 571 under Cooling Water Corrosion and Scaling:
“Cooling water scaling tends to occur more rapidly as water temperature increases. To minimize scaling, inlet temperatures to exchangers should be kept below 140°F (60°C) where possible.”
“Above this temperature, calcium carbonate and other salts tend to precipitate more readily.”
Thus, option A is correct.
