The answer is d) impossible to know for sure what it means.
This term is loosely used by manufacturers of products who wish to sell their wares to the brave new world of scrapbookers out there. As Vice President Al Gore would say, "There is no controlling legal authority" over the usage of the phrase or the testing needed to be done on a product in order to call it "photo safe."  Of course, generally, it should mean that the product is safe to be used around our photos.
