I'd prefer (a), because using (b) can lead you into strange
situations:

Assume that the C is rdfs:Literal and that you're using a resource
uri as a target of the property. Using (b) this would mean that the
uri is a literal. To the best of my knowledge, a uri cannot be both
a resource and a literal.
