Ball in play oscillates when addressed

"In addressing the ball, Larry accidentally caused his golf ball to oscillate, but it returned to its original position. He said oops, his competitor said that's going to cost you a penalty stroke. What if any is the penalty?"

A. Simple, No penalty. What's a little oscillation. As long as the ball stayed /returned to its original position on its own, no harm / no foul / no penalty.

B. Simple, one stroke penalty. Come on, the ball at rest moved, and that's a no, no. If a golfers's ball in play moves after he has addressed it (other than as a result of a stroke), the golfer is considered to have moved the ball and a penalty of one stroke is awarded.

C. Simple, two stroke penalty. Come on, the ball at rest moved, and that's a no, no. If a golfers's ball in play moves after he has addressed it (other than as a result of a stroke), the golfer is considered to have moved the ball and a penalty of one stroke is awarded.
