(C) The old-school way of handling this was to get a dyndns account and then set your torrc Address to point to your dyndns hostname. That is, you run a periodic tool that reaches out to the service and it makes sure to update the hostname it gives you to match your current address.
Apparently dyndns has turned from the great free service that it used to be into a mess of for-profit scamminess. But the nice people on irc point me to https://freedns.afraid.org/ as one option that's also been around forever and doesn't seem like it's gone scammy yet.
afraid.org is a good choice. Alternative: https://dns.he.net/ I use it as a secondary (slave) DNS zone for my domain.
If you need help with DynDNS on your router, ask here and specify your router model. I have scripts for Mikrotik.
