If the 3d models were available, I imagine they'd be the preferred form
for modification.
Since they're not available, through neglect, I don't see that they're
preferred.

If someone had the 3d models and they considered the sprites to be
derived works based on those models, then we'd have to go for option b).
But you seem to be saying that this isn't the case.
