B
the sky condition is clear and visibility is unrestricted.
C

Explanation
AIM 4-1-13 states that the absence of a sky condition or ceiling and/or visibility on ATIS indicates a ceiling of 5,000 feet or above and visibility of 5 miles or more. It does not mean the sky is clear with unrestricted visibility, and it says more than 'at or above VFR minimums'.
