None of them. Files in /etc/tmpfiles.d override /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d, so
create /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf with the line 

d /tmp 1777 root root -

(with - replacing 10d) and that _should_ do it (untested but I strongly
believe the theory).

But personally, I think I'd consider stashing non-temporary files
somewhere else, and just leaving /tmp as-is.
