Why is option C not a correct choice?

Hello anishatalwar,
We hope this finds you well.
Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubt.
Option C is incorrect, as within it there is no active verb acting upon the subject "The giant ground sloth"; "having stood twelve feet tall", "weighing nine thousand pounds", and "wielding seven-inch claws" are all present participles ("verb+ing") acting as noun modifiers.
We hope this helps.
All the best!

I chose the correct answer but was between B and D in the end.
D def sounds better and seems to have elements in parallel too. While B uses stood then weighing and wielding.
Can you please provide a full and elaborate concept behind elimination of B.
I am not able to make out how it is a run on. Thanks
Additional question:
Would this be correct?
It stood twelve feet tall, weighed nine thousand pounds, and wielded seven-inch claws, Megatherium americanum was a giant ground sloth that (and?) may have been the largest hunting mammal ever to walk the Earth.
Also usage of 'that' and 'and' is confusing in my version of sentence. Will both be right?
