Long story short:
The sentence talks about a religious organization that has put a check on the scientists if they want to pursue a theory.
First split point here is the use of word Since, Always use Present Perfect tense whenever since is used in context of time. So B and D are gone.

Original inverted text.
The mark of inversion could be seen in the verb 'has' preceding the subject 'a religious organization'.
Rewrite
Since Galileo suffered the “scurvy humor” of the Inquisition, a religious organization has not so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist that he could pursue a theory.
'Since' is an adverb here marking the time of 'when" and not a conjunction meaning 'because'.
'So' is often used as an adverb of manner as in 'how did she sing? So did she sing. Many times, it is also an intensifier meaning a huge quantum as in "how effectively?" - so effectively.
Between A and C
A. has a religious organization so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist that he could pursue
C) has a religious organization so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist to pursue
C is short and straight .
