Doing research before the interview will allow you to have a better understanding of what the market rate is for the role you are applying for. This will enable you to give a realistic salary expectation and negotiate accordingly. Option B is not recommended as the employer may be offering a salary package which includes other benefits such as medical insurance, vacation time, or retirement benefits that should be factored in.
