But since the soil is saturated, UCS (Unconfined compression test) not possible since the sample is not confined from the side.
So, we can go for a triaxial test.
So, we can go for a triaxial test.

When triaxial test is done without confining pressure it is known as unconfined compression test.
This test is suitable only for fully saturated clay.

Direct shear test for cohesionless, triaxial compression test for all soil, unconfined compression test and vane shear test for cohesive soil.

According to me, it will be vane shear test, either none of the above.

Yes, correct @Viru.
But C is also true.
