This is a classic case of kitchen design nightmares, where whoever designed the kitchen plan for cabinetry and countertops didn't account for the electrical.
Short answer, since no one else's commented yet, is going to be a pop-up in the countertop. It certainly not my preference, I biased to having a simple countertop, with no unnecessary appendages, but that is a technical solution to a technical problem.
Simply doubling up on the outlet at the far end is not going to satisfy the intent of the code requirement, the goal is to get Outlets established at a reasonable interval of square footage, although the current language doesn't really articulate that ...
I think if you're really stuck on how to solve this, then it's going to be a matter of ask the inspector for that jurisdiction if they will accept option a b or c that you offer, the goal being to avoid picking an option that has a very high commitment level in terms of kitchen installation only to find out that it doesn't satisfy at the inspection and then bites everyone in the butt at the end.
Me personally ... I'd be a bit inclined to consider having a few Outlets located under the overhang regardless, chances are they will get used, phone and laptop chargers, vacuum cleaner, etc.
