youngster and ruthlessness

By doji, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I searched and didn't see anything.

I have youngster with ruthlessness with in range 3 of another tie fight which has the ept ruthlessness. Since ruthessness is not an option effect what happens in the following situation

If one of those 3 ties with the ept hits which of these resolutions is correct:

A: ruthlessness on the tie triggers for 1 splash damage into target ,b ruthlessness given by youngster anility to this tie fighter triggers and 1 splash damage is dealt to target b

B: ruthlessness on the tie triggers for 1 splash damage into target b ruthlessness given by youngster ability triggers and 1 splash damage is dealt to target c

C: only 1 copy triggers

D: both copies trigger but only 1 damage is dealt.

Youngster doesn't help as Ruthlessness is not an Action: header card. And Youngster specifies the other ships may perform the action on the equipped card.
