How would you interpret this Type 2D wall detail?

How would you interpret this Type 2D wall detail?

Looking specifically at Type 2D in the attached detail.

The note calls for (3) layers of 5/8" Type X gypsum board, but visually the exterior side looks like two standard gypsum layers, with the third/outer layer drawn differently and a dashed line through it where the exterior cement plaster is called out.

Would you interpret 2D as:

A) 3 layers of 5/8" Type X plus the exterior cement plaster assembly, or

B) 2 layers of 5/8" Type X plus the cement plaster assembly essentially taking the place of the third exterior layer?

Curious how others would logically read the detail as drawn.
