All three can be plenty intimidating since all involve high altitudes, extreme weather, and lots of ice! Kilimanjaro is probably the least deadly. McKinley is plenty of challenge for most seasoned climbers. But Everest is the 'king' of mountains, at the top of the world! Few make it all the way to its summit--it is all risk and chance, plus the luck of weather conditions. The altitude there definitely makes the use of oxygen necessary for anybody NOT used to living at the 17,000 foot level already, and it is truly foolish, to attempt an assault on that summit with NO carried oxygen.
Ever see the movie or read the book 'Into Thin Air'? So many have died, on Everest, even those remaining far below the summit, it makes one wonder why some of us would WANT to attempt those climbs! Me, I'll settle for Long's Peak, out in Colorado, if ever I can manage to BE there during the very short climbing season available.

A) Hiking at Mt. Everest

Anyone above the age of 12 and physically fit enough to walk 20km per day may attempt to climb Kilimanjaro.
"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again… so why bother in the first place? Mt. McKinley.
I have a theory that people climb Mt. Everest for the smell of it. Air at very high altitude smells completely different to lower altitudes. People become addicted to this smell and need more and more to get less and less of it. This is what makes them get higher.

I would have to say B only because Mt. Kilimanjaro would be somewhere I would love to climb, while Mt. Everest would be that same, but only less likely.

All of them probably aren't too scary because you are just hiking... if you were mountain climbing it would be A, Mt. Everest because you would have to worry about falling or freezing

If I went hiking, someone who have to come with a big spatula to scrape me off of the side of the mountain. I am NOT the mountain climbing, hiking type.

Already done B & C. A scares me because I cannot resist it. I have trekked to Everest Base camp twice, only to stay because the mountain didn't permit us to climb. It is the penultimate climb on the planet. I will return again and again. If it costs me my life, so be it. There are less lofty goals that people are willing to die for.
