Your positive terminal looks good and clean. Does the negative look that good?

I will say that what you have appears to be the original battery. If I am correct, then that sucker is definitely at end of life. 8 years has been a good run, but it is no doubt shot.

The negative seems pretty clean too. Attached are a few additional photos if you want to check it out.

So at this point, do I:
A) Buy a jump starter to (try to) jump start it and drive to Autozone or Pepboys
B) Buy a battery charger to (try to) charge the battery and drive over to Autozone/Pepboys
C) Sign up for AAA to tow my car to Autozone or Pepboys and have them install a battery
D) Buy a battery at Autozone or Pepboys and install it myself?

battery

Your battery is very old so to charge will probable be a waste of time and money. The quickest way is to have someone take you up to get a battery or jump the car. If the battery has a shorted cell, it will not even jump. Please note that Autozone or Pepboys may not have an exact fit for your car. They may something smaller.
