Jkpyke, welcome to the forum!

I think that you were right there, look again at both sub-sections of 410.62.

I think you are right on it .

so located 8' above, but 410.62(2) and 3 throw me off

For some reason I want to go with the wattage rating, but it gives me no amp in the question. A doesn't seam right, I am left with D. Which I don't know if that would fall under C(1)

Exactly. Another two sections you might want to check out are 400.7 and 400.8. These tell you when you can use cord (not often), and when you specifically can't.

Knowing that it is used for flexibility in general helps pull the adjustable answer out as the one to go with.
