Endgame puzzle

I've found it beneficial to find and analyze all checks, captures, and moves that position a chessman to subsequently check, capture, or do something threatening.

After 1. d4+ Kb6 2. c5+ Kb5 3. c6 Kb6, does White have any moves that fall within one of the above categories?

After ...King-b6

c7, Rc2
d6, Rc6
d7, Rxc7
d8 (queen)

White appears to be unstoppable after d6

SOLV'D

Before the diagrammed position, Black indeed should have played ...Kd7. He underestimated the strength of the white pawn mass.
