We need to show contrast because if something +ive happened, some negative has also happened. So to put these two points of information forward, we need "but".
Only A, C and E remain.
Only C is the choice that has "have" that is parallel to "has" present in the non-underlined part of the sentence. Hence correct.
Don't know why you have marked D as the answer as it is ridiculous.
