The structure in C is alright. The fully expanded form (i.e. before omission of stylistically unnecessary words) is as follows:
Even in a place (which is) as warm as Florida (is), snowfall is sometimes possible.
The parallel elements are "which is" and "Florida is" - Th opening prepositional phrase "even in a place" is outside the parallel structure.
It is very warm in this place as (it is) in Florida: this is a sentence where "in this place" is within the parallel structure and hence "in" is required before "Florida".

Official Solution:
Even in places in which the average temperature is as warm as Florida, snowfall is sometimes possible.
A. places in which the average temperature is as warm as
B. a place with an average temperature as warm as
C. a place as warm as
D. places as warm as it is in
E. a place that is as warm a
This sentence is testing mainly concision, but the wordiness in the original sentence also causes a misplaced modifier, making it sound as if temperature is intended as a direct comparison to Florida. The correct answer will be the most concise version of the underlined portion that keeps the sense of the sentence and eliminates ambiguity.
A. This phrase is unnecessarily wordy, and temperature is incorrectly paralleled to Florida.
B. Temperature is incorrectly parallel to Florida, and the phrase is wordy.
C. CORRECT. This option both provides a more concise rewording of the original underlined portion and eliminates ambiguity, making warm an appropriate modifier for Florida.
D. Ambiguity has been eliminated, but the phrase as warm as it is in is unnecessarily wordy.
E. The words that is are redundant and unnecessary.
