To me the fine tuning problem is a bit like saying "circles wouldn't exist without π being exactly the value it is" and wondering why π has that value specifically and not any other value.
I don't think A and B are mutually exclusive. The values seem perfectly tuned for our universe because we exist in our universe, and they are probably emergent from a more fundamental parameter, possibly something like the particular Calabi-Yau manifold topology that happens to correspond to our universe (in the case of superstring theory). If we lived in a different CY topology that was capable of supporting intelligent life then we'd wonder why that one's constants are so precisely tuned for us.
But then, I'm and idiot who just watches PBS Space Time and nods his head, not a physicist.
