B. The US should enter the war on the side of the UK as soon as they declared war.

While JFK's father was Ambassador to the UK he had his political ambitions abruptly ended during the Battle of Britain in November 1940, after publishing his controversial remarks suggesting that "Democracy is finished in England. It may be here, [in the US]." Kennedy rejected the warnings of Winston Churchill that compromise with Nazi Germany was impossible; instead he supported Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement in order to stave off a second world war.
