Explanation:

There is error in the bold part of the statement since the sentence is in active voice and therefore, ‘was’ should not have been used after the subject in the sentence. Replacement is required to be carried out in the bold part of the sentence. Now, if we see the sentence, it implies that the person has taken into account all the possible alternatives before taking the decision. Here, ‘he’ is the subject and that is why, active voice should be used.

The correct sentence would be:

He considered all the available alternatives in front of him before taking the decision to quit the job.

This makes option C the correct sentence among the given options.
