Explanation:

Correct Option: C

More than one related instances of the past perfect tense makes the sentence ambiguous or unclear. Option A can be eliminated here.

Option B is eliminated as well because the usage of past form with the past perfect tense is ungrammatical.

Option D is grammatically incorrect as usage of the present perfect tense in the sentence is absurd.

Clearly, option C is the correct answer.
