Why each option

In SharePoint integrated mode, SSRS email subscription delivery requires SMTP to be configured at the SharePoint farm level via Central Administration.

AModify the Rsmrepolicy.config file.

Rsmrepolicy.config is a code access security policy file for Report Manager and has no effect on enabling or disabling email delivery for subscriptions.

BFrom Central Administration, modify the SMTP settings of the SharePoint server server farm.Correct

When SSRS operates in SharePoint integrated mode, the email delivery option for subscriptions only appears when outgoing email (SMTP) is properly configured in SharePoint Central Administration under the farm's outgoing e-mail settings. Without this farm-level SMTP configuration, the report server cannot send subscription emails and the delivery option is hidden from the subscription creation UI.

CModify the Rssrvpolicy.config file.

Rssrvpolicy.config is a code access security policy file for the Report Server service itself and does not control email delivery configuration.

DFrom Central Administration, modify the properties of the Reporting Service Application.

The Reporting Services Application properties in Central Administration manage service-level settings but do not expose the SMTP configuration that enables the email delivery option in subscriptions.
