All six of your sentences are correct, and they all sound natural.

In order, the subjects of your sentences are

going

it

option

option

it

planting

I hope this helps.

I think the most common one is...

The best option would have been going to the hospital... (the others are correct too)

About trees.. Both are correct despite the fact that if you start the sentence with it, that it would be an anticipatory/empty it..

Hope I have helped you!
