Default Cross wind landing teqniques

Perhaps some one could be so kind as to help me get my head round this.
The scenario is a wind of some significant strength coming directly towards me. The aircraft is coming in right to left.
Do I
A/ Give right rudder and correct with left aileron in which case the plane will land with a hefty crab and possibly damage the U/C or
B/ Give right aileron and correct with rudder.
Not sure if A or B is even marginaly correct or should be a mixture with the correction changing at touch down.
Can any body be so kind as to give a walk through of their landing technique (using my scenario just so I can compare easier)
I really look forward to the answers as it is driving me mad and presumably to a certain extent this is going to apply on take off.
Remember the scenario:
