@r12a your Tamil example is only interesting because the doubled consonant results in a phonetic change, but I don't see any reason why B should be preferred over A. Even the script supports A, as otherwise you would expect the _ai_ sign to be in front of the first _ṟ_.

Note that you can really find pretty much any breaking for vertical text around:

A is consistent with caret stops when editing documents from my experience. Either way, is there a reason to not just follow/refer UAX#29 Unicode Text Segmentation?

I don't have enough experience with Devenagari, but from technical point C makes more sense to me, especially if there is ZWNJ.
