219.89.13.172: How to continue this simple sequence? (2010-03-04 10:55) [#7382]

I have seen B3 criticized because W4 is supposed to be a strong response if there is no black stone at 5 or nearby. But after B5 how should white respond? I suspect a, b, c or d but really have no idea. In particular I'm worried about black playing at b (or extending on the top).

The first intuition should be a or b. a may provoke a fight at c. b presses the corner into a low position.

After a black has shape problems in the corner. b seems too easy on black, although white's idea might be to go back and attack the pincer stone.
