Scenario A is correct.

If you give a figure actions on successive turns, that figure receives 1 click for pushing. Unless, that figure had will power or the Power Cosmic TA.

Just remember that you take pushing damage after the action is complete

This will likely show up with activation click characters.

Example: Colossus is adjacent to an object. He takes an action and moves one space forward and back. Next turn he takes another action and moves back and forth. Then he clicks for pushing, which puts him on his Super Strength click. He cannot pick up the object becuase his action ended before he gained Super Strength
