I'd think (a) as well. If true alt of starting point is 3600 MSL and true alt of end point is 8050 MSL and a QNH of 1032 gives you 3600 indicated at the start point then it should indicate 8050 at the end point...all other things remaining equal.
Surely???
At least if the WhiteKnight has the question exactly right.
