I would honestly assume that the subject wasn't racist and the complainer was just virtue signalling.

I like these choices. People would typically give "superiority/inferiority based on race" as A, and I feel like that's way too blunt of an instrument.

Depends on if they is a person or a company. "I used to work there. They were kinda racist." is B.

This is quite a misleading way to frame the complicated socio-cultural phenomenon that is racism---prejudice based on ingroup preferences is widespread and while you could call these biases "racism", it actually isn't helpful at all to do so.

I'm sorry but this is a faulty question. There is no data on which definition they might be using, and saying "If you talked to them, you'd assume they probably were using which definition?" Makes no sense. If I talk to them I wouldn't be ASSUMING.
