I would stick to solid companies that have real value and assets. Particularly, recession proof businesses such as food and medicine. People will always need both. As the Baby Boomers reach retirement in droves, senior health care is going to be booming, as well.
Treasury Bonds are safe but do not yield much. Gold is iffy. The difference is in whether you purchase gold on paper or actually purchase and possess gold. The problem is, gold on paper faces the same problems of bad companies going belly up. Gold in your possession involves service costs to purchase, shipping costs to receive and it is vulnerable to theft.
Solar Energy is tough because it is hard to figure out which company will make the big breakthrough but it is a cinch one of them will be the future microsoft if they come up with a technological breakthrough.
Construction Companies are too volatile even in good times.
My opinion.

A. GOLD!
Get it in Canadian Maple Leaf tenths (worth about $80usd (closed 843.90 12/21) right now, about the cost of a tank of premium gasoline) so you can use it to buy food and fuel as the economy crashes further the next 18 to 24 months.

Unfortunately, none of your choices are wise investments.
On the other hand, the Obama "kind eyes" dinner plates are virtually guaranteed to yield the highest returns:
