1 stroke of brilliance: This is the right answer. This expression means an "exceptional idea" or a "moment of genius". For example: "Let's use the money in the pension fund, bet it all on a horse, take the winnings and put the original money back in the box. It's a stroke of brilliance!".

3 come up with: This is correct. This phrasal verb means to "invent", to "conceive" or to "make up". Another example of this is: "I've come up with several ideas for the advertising campaign, but nobody ever listens to me!"
4 from now on: Synonyms for this phrase include "from this moment" and "starting here".
5 on its way: This means "en route", "coming" or "going".
