Explanation:

The answer to this is statement 'C.' The correct sentence is “The building had been under construction for a long time until a series of unprecedented events brought it to a halt.” Bring something to halt is a phrase that means causing something to stop. According to the sentence some unprecedented events stopped the construction of the building. Thus the phrase (in its past tense) 'Brought it to a halt' is apt for this sentence.
