OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The phrase ‘who might otherwise choose teaching as a career in the past’ is idiomatically wrong, and must be corrected as ‘who might otherwise have chosen teaching as a career in the past’. So, (A) is not the answer.
(B) also has the same error, and is wrong.
(C) corrects this error, and has the more elegant single word ‘once’ instead of the phrase ‘in the past’, and is the answer.
The use of both ‘once’ and ‘in the past’ in (D) results in a redundancy, rendering this choice wrong.
The phrase ‘teaching as a career’ in (C) is more elegant than the phrase ‘as a career, ... teaching’ in (E).
