`B. This is in the realm of my perfect climate. Summer could be a little cooler, but would still be manageable. The other concern would be the cold snaps. As a keen gardener my options would be a bit more limited than I'm used too. Still, I'm sure I could adjust.
Charlotte's weather usually doesn't suck and is especially impressive for somewhere a day's drive from Canada.
I've been in the Carolina's countless Augusts, once in June, 1-2 times in March, once in autumn and a few times in winter. Summers are ideallic for me. The rest of the year is good-to-not-bad 80% of the time. The other 20% would suck, as that's when cold fronts push through, bringing weather more resembling Toronto's.

One thing about the South is that warm spring weather comes really fast. By late Feb-early March usually the cold fronts don't pack as much punch in Wilmington, NC.
Another thing about Wilmington (a friend of mine went to NC state and we would go to Wrightsville Beach) is that there are amazing beaches nearby.
Sand beaches that go on for miles and blue, really warm (low 80'sF) ocean water. Love those beaches!
I like North Carolina's climate because it doesn't have a real winter
Western North Carolina is getting snow today, to me that's a real winter
