Hi Chembeti,
A. Running through the parking lot, Aisha hoped to get to her car before the rain begins.
B. Running through the parking lot, Aisha hoped to get to her car before the rain would begin.
C. Running through the parking lot, Aisha hoped to get to her car before the rain began.
D. While running through the parking lot, Aisha hoped to get to her car before the rain begins. - Meaning change
E. While running through the parking lot, Aisha hoped to get to her car before the rain would begin. - Meaning change
I think the reason C is correct is when she is running and hoping that she gets into the car,
the rain has not started. Therefore, the rain began seems to be the correct choice to word in this case.

It began raining before we could step out.
He began to argue before I could explain myself.
He began eating before the Grace was said.
