Using towel for alignment before taking swing

Larry, Scott, and I were playing a friendly stroke play round of golf. At least, it started out friendly. On hole number #5, Scott laid a towel on the ground to double check his alignment. Of course, he tossed the towel away before taking his swing. Larry spoke up and said, "Sorry Scott, but that's going to cost you a two-stroke penalty. You can't use anything to help you line up for a stroke. Scott said, how out my eyes, can I keep them open? You can see where this was going?

A. Larry is correct, Scott can not set anything on the ground to help with his alignment, even if he removes the object before taking his swing. But, it's only a one-stroke penalty.

B. Larry is correct, Scott can not set anything on the ground to help with his alignment, even if he removes the object before taking his swing. Two-stroke penalty.

C. Scott was correct, as long the object he placed on the ground to help with alignment was removed before taking the swing, there is no penalty.
