In option A, "had not faded" is incorrect with "more recent times". In option B, "of which" is awkward and doesn't clearly tell what is ambiguous?
Option D changes the meaning of the sentence. E has a pronoun error ("its" incorrectly modifies "definitions").
C has correct tense, and the pronoun "its" correctly refer to the term "conscious". C should be the answer.
