Autumn Feast rules query

[Ivarenna]

Since Ivarenna is about to give birth she is unable to Carouse.

Carousing at the Autumn Feast is mandatory.

Should Ivarenna

a) attend the feast with an exemption from carousing?
or
b) be exempted from attending the feast (in the same way that she didn't attend the games last month)?

thanks

As carousing is mandatory she is expected to stay away from the party.
