Being sent back to my old department. Wanted to leave since it was a toxic environment. What should I do?

Since there are 3 total departments that I will be talking about, I'll label this below like so:

A: First Department that I used to work for.

B: Department that I currently was on temporary assignment to.

C: Department that I'm talking to but have never worked for before.

So I've been working for B for 6 months. I was told that I will be leaving in the next two weeks and I was completely dumbfounded and confused since I have been talking to all my coworkers and it seemed like everyone really liked working with me and I was given a lot of glowing reviews from even senior engineers. My team lead even mentioned that I was considered really sharp for my age.

So it was a shock when I was told that I will be going back to A. And it utterly makes me depressed to think about. I've been running through my mind for why I'm being sent back. I called my supervisor of B and asked him why was I being sent back. Turns out it is not due to performance and it was due to budget issues. Since I was on temporary assignment and several others were on temporary assignment, they are sending all of us back. My B Supervisor said that if there was an open spot, I and the few others would definitely be brought back but this decision was entirely due to budget.

And I definitely do think it's true since I have been talking to my coworkers and they all liked me and have told me that "they are definitely not gonna send you back to your old department, reaper." Some of my coworkers are trying to figure out and help me out on trying to convince my supervisor to let me stay.

I don't want to go back to my old department. It was a toxic environment and I'm aware of it. I don't know how it is gonna go since my old team lead definitely burned some bridges. It was a lot of downright bullying and office politics. I was stressed to the point that I honestly hated the sight of my own phone.

---------------------

So here is the options, I have been talking to C, on the off chance that B did not want to keep me. C said that they would be glad to take me and it would be a full transfer. The only problem with this is that C is less technical than the A and B. As a young engineer, it isn't a great stepping stone for my career as it won't teach me a lot.

But the thought of going back to A makes me so depressed to think about.

B said that if there were any open spots, they would bring us back. I have several coworkers that I know of that are looking to leave or have plans to go temporarily pursue something. That may not be for a few months but I have a feeling that I would be called back if my coworkers do leave.

Should I transfer to C even though it isn't exactly a great stepping stone in my career? Also, on the off chance that I could be called back to B only a few months later? I feel as though it would be bad professionally to do that to C.

I absolutely hate working for A.

----------------------

tldr

A: Toxic work environment. Don't want to go back.

B: Want to stay but not enough open spots.

C: Less technical than the other two and as a young engineer, I don't see a lot of technical growth here but I would be happier and have a simple peace of mind.
