I would take Player C, the rest shows not enough potential

Player C is 20 and has the skills of an 18 yo, you will never come close to using his full potential.
I would take player B. He is 18 and will train fastest and pot 5 is good enough to become starter in D IV and backup in D III and II if well trained.

Player B, I hope you're going to train a lot of OD though.

some, but he is just going along for the ride

Definitely not player C. I think, contrary to everyone else, I'd say player A. I'm the kind of person who wouldn't be up for working with that pitiful OD and awful Handling, and A is a lot better starting with those skills, in addition to having better inside skills.

If he's just a tertiary trainee and isn't your main focus, you're not going to strive to make him the best player he can be anyway. So the third guy is definitely out. Star potential is still high enough you could realistically work the 19yo to cap, and while you could cap the 18yo as well, I think it'd be a bit rougher starting out, especially seeing as his defensive skills are so low, which in my experience would lead to foul-outs and make training that much harder.
