The ...

There's no reason why a 5-point scale should be more valid than a 3-point one, and re-scaling is somewhat arbitrary because you could also put point 2-4 in the medium category. What I cannot guarantee is the validity of option A, but this doesn't have to do with whether your scale has 3 or 5 points (and is therefore ...

1) Is method 1 or method 2 better? In my opinion this depends on the background and what you want. Method 1 gives more differentiated information, method 2 focuses on the decision problem and forces people to not sit on the fence (by giving 2 or 3 versions the same score).
