(C) doesn't apply - the garage is not a dwelling.
If not using provisions of (A) or (B) then (D) is all that is left that can apply, and you are more then 60 amps so nothing wrong with what was mentioned.

Glad I double checked. Thanks guys! I should have caught the fact that this code section mirrors the service disconnecting means requirements of 230.79c.
