What about the first one?
I was told that that one's the right one.

Yes, I guess it's ok. I'm just old-fashioned. So I'll revise my answer:
C is correct
A is possible

A is certainly not THE right one. (C is THE right one :mrgreen: )

Even B is conceivable, but it's tautological because "such" duplicates "really".
