In my simulation it's strategy D actually.

I had written this:

"For each strategy, I list the average improvement
that this voter achieved (from his own perspective) due to his vote. This
is of course measured in points, so that a result of 1 means that on
average, this voter's ballot caused the election of a candidate considered
1 point better than the candidate who won before this voter was counted."

I actually didn't count how many times the vote was pivotal.
