Mitered Countertop Edge Install Question

Where does a countertop with a mitered edge rest on the front of the cabinet when it is installed -- is it A or B (see below). I am guessing A, and would be happily surprised if it is not.

We are considering having the mitered edge to give our countertop a thicker look, but our cabinets are already built and there is no room above the drawer to accommodate the extra vertical element of the countertop that the mitered edge delivers if A is the answer.

I was wondering whether running some stripping along the cabinet top in front (on top of A) so that the countertop rests on that (thereby raising the vertical dropdown and giving clearance to the drawers) might be an option.

Would really appreciate any opinions on that approach (or any other solution to this issue).

Thanks in advance.
