My choice would be (C). The adverb "now" indicates present tense for the main clause.
Although this decision seemed smart at the time, now it is clear that I couldn’t have made a more unwise choice.
The other clauses describe events that happened in the past time relative to the main clause.

Hi Astars,
I was going to take issue with you, but then I suddenly saw your edit.
I don't like these tests where more than one answer can be correct, because I think the instructions tend to say 'find the error' rather than 'find the most common or likely answer'.
