The third option: Grant planned to attack Richmond.

More precisely, his new strategy (spring 1864) was coordinated, simultaneous offensives: Grant would move against Lee and Richmond in Virginia while Sherman advanced from Chattanooga toward Atlanta and the sea. The McClellan option is incorrect — McClellan was not part of Grant’s 1864 plan.
