Your answer makes me think of another question. Do transport vehicles
purchased as 'mounts' for infantry inherit 'stubborn'? ( ex: do the
landraiders mentioned in the example below which have been purchased as
mounts for the noise marines count as 'stubborn'? ) I'm assuming from your
answer regarding the 'majority of units' alternate rule that they do.
And just for the record, if you didn't play by that rule or alternative b),
it'd seem that 1K sons would be a big honkin waste of points since none of
the chaos marine detachment commanders have 'stubborn' as a special.

"Official" answer (d). There's an alternative presented
at the end of the Battles Book that allows you to reroll for the
entire detachment, but only if the Stubborn units outnumber the
non-Stubborn units in the detachment (so that would be no for the
above detachment, yes if you had 1 more Noise Marine). Personally
I play with (b) - it's not that strange, but you do have to worry
about the Stubborn units getting out of the command radius of a
non-Stubborn HQ if you're on the move.
