The "on any turn he attacks" wording is pretty unclear though preceding a list where option (c) doesn't involve any attacks.

It seems to me like it's also not well-defined whether you even Defend and pick option (c)? (i.e. Maybe not - maybe you need to take an Attack option and not actually attack to get the 4 hits stopped, so you can't also Defend to add dice to enemy to-hit rolls.)
