Besides he's using a Mac, which probably means he's not using Windows and, even if he were, mucking around with the Window's regional settings is not to be lightly advised.
This leaves him with the variant B then. Btw. even when his entries originally contain commas, then there is a workaround. Before saving the table as csv-file, he has to replace all commas with some other (unused) chartacter, p.e. "_". And after opening the csv-file and saving it to Excel format, he has to replace this character with comma everywhere again.
