Yes. You do require the introductory connector ‘that’ in all reported speeches, lest it should become a run-on or an informal spoken form. . The choice is therefore limited to A and B

Between A and B: In B ‘speak thousands of languages of which all’ is weird and meaningless; ‘All of which’ is the right expression

A is left with a forthright presentation
