This one I agree on.

But not this one. Rule quate from the rules for Supreme commander:
"...Also, if the Supreme Commander (not just his bodyguard) fights in a
close combat or contributes his firepower to a firefight then you may
re-roll the dice for theat close combat or firefight..."

This claerly states that the SC himself have to be in CC not just his body
guard.

To put futher emphasis on this consider the special rules for the
Dominatrix, which specificly state that in addition to the normal SC rules
You may also re-roll if the Dominatrix is just supporting a CC (which it
can as it is a war engin).

Therfor I feel that the answer to the question should be B.

A.I.C. rules for CHAOS
