As per the question in post 8, I've already put the top mount studs into the holes and tightened the 3 nuts. The assembly rotates but it doesn't rotate easily. So in my case the answer is c).

a) Easily, using one hand on the damper tube?
b) Moderately easily, using two hands on the damper tube?
c) Not easily but it will rotate with two hands on the spring cup and bottom coil?
d) A.N. other?
