Of course you havent!

Where does the OP mention consciousness?
Like I said, you've ne real interest. Troll someone who cares.
Consciousness = having experiences. The OP is about sensory experiences.

So do you go for option A or B? Or if you claim the issue has already been resolved by biology, can you provide a quote?

Sure. Here's a quote for you.

My bold

Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia; from the Ancient Greek σύν syn, "together", and αἴσθησις aisthēsis, "sensation") is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[1][2][3][4] People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.

How so. Explain your understanding of synesthesia and how it supports the op, and why it's a rare phenomenon in human minds.

For the concept of synesthesia to exist it requires that senses are indeed separate phenomena. I thought that would be obvious.

Unfortunately reason won't work here, because of how Pl0bs approaches any given subject.

1 - Pl0bs makes a statement that he thinks is unerringly correct.
2 - People disagree with the statement.
3 - But Pl0bs thinks he is unerringly correct.
4 - Therefore Pl0bs has PWN'd you.

Repeat, ad nausem, for every subject on which Pl0bs post.

That pl0bs repeatedly trots out pwned, a failure to spell owned, whenever he trots out an "idea" that fails to make any sense, will never cease to be amusing.

Not sure what constitutes a seperate phenomenon, but do you think synesthesia supports option A, or B? Or neither?

Did our senses (the experiences) originate separately? pl0bs frequently asserts that consciousness is experiences so we can rewrite as: Did our consciousness originate separately? and ask, "Separately from what?" :doh:

In a related topic, we got this:
pl0bs wrote:Heres my position:

- we experience the world around us and this set of experiences is also known as consciousness

This gets repeated a lot so it must be true. :roll: However, it does allow the following clarifying rewrite...

- the experiences have consciousness has causal power or they it and our sense organs could not have evolved

In other words, consciousness and sense organs could not have evolved without consciousness. Circular reasoning is circular and error-prone.

Here is pl0bs' “position”, aka Option C for the op: assertion + circular reasoning => word salad.
