aadhar,
I don't know the right answer to this, but I've always done (C) - Creating a common class and putting the common methods in that class and instantiating it from the bean.
You can call another bean from inside a bean, but depending on how you set up your access (remotely or locally) you could affect your performance a lot. It's always better to just create a common class in either the EJB project or in a Utility project and call that class.
