PieanneDefinitely C.Hi, Pianne,
I believe it so, but why not "A"? I need good grounds to refute "A".

To do well is to succeed, to prosper, it has nothing to do with the sentence.

PieanneTo do well is to succeed, to prosper, it has nothing to do with the sentence."You don't do well by behaving rude to your sister."
Is this sentence natural English and eligible to evaluate within the same context?

As you can see, I'm not a native, but "behaving rude" doesn't seem correct to me.

PieanneHow about
As you can see, I'm not a native, but "behaving rude" doesn't seem correct to me.

I can construct a story so that your line would fit, but it's not very natural, no.
In the test question, C is so far and away the first choice that there is no reason to try to find a way to make the others fit.
