For C: I'm not sure how EU laws work, but ethics says that someone who needs a job cannot give consent since the possibility of a job if they give consent could be a bribe. See a lawyer for how it works in your country.

also not fully sure, but AFIK there are limits to how far you can wave this right, in context of things like TOS, simple opt-in fields on forms etc.
Like YT would have loved to make you opt out of it (and probably has it in their TOS) but there where multiple cases of courts forcing them to handle it properly in the past as far as I remember.
My _guess_ is that at least if you don't sign a proper contract you can always force a human reevaluation. But also only that (so only semi useful). Also even with a proper contract it's unclear if it would be possible in this specific case due to the contract being fundamentally one-side/unfair and semi-forced on you if it where wide spread on the market for the specific job you are trying to get.
Those limits exist too, but even if the law doesn't give limits, ethics does.
That's why I said consent usually cannot be used in employment context. I wouldn't rule it out 100% for everything employment related, but application screening is unlikely to qualify for those rare cases.
