C19 makes sense here. From wiki:
TPS applicants are eligible to receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD/card) based on TPS only if they have a pending or approved initial Form I-821 (Application for Temporary Protected Status).Category C19 appears on EADs issued while the initial Form I-821 is pending approval or denial; therefore, receiving a C19 EAD does not mean that an applicant has been granted TPS. Category A12 appears on EADs issued after the initial Form I-821 has been approved.
from - http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-765instr.pdf
A category (a)(12) EAD is issued to an
individual granted TPS under 8 CFR 244. A
category (c)(19) EAD is a temporary treatment
benefit under TPS pursuant to 8 CFR 244.5.
As this will be the first time we are applying for TPS this should be c(19).
Check step 5 here
http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status-deferred-enforced-departure/temporary-protected-status
"If you are found to be eligible upon initial review of your TPS application (prima facie eligible) you will receive an EAD"
As per the USCIS website EAD can be issued before approval of TPS application.
