Explanation:

In fragment C of the given statement, than has been used incorrectly since nothing else / else should be followed by ‘but’ and not ‘than’.

In fragment D of the sentence, preventing somebody can be only from doing something. Therefore, preventing is always followed by from + -ing form of the verb. The correct usage would have been preventing him from attending in this part of the sentence.

All the others parts are correct and no error is there in all these parts.

The correct sentence would be: I can clearly understand that it is nothing else but his ego that is preventing him from attending the funeral of his estranged father.

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