I think C is correct as its start with perfect subordinate clause. Because of is modifying verb which is also correct form. Please clarify if I am wrong.

Why is option D wrong? What is wrong with 'being'? Can someone please provide the grammatical logic behind this?

The answer is B: Past perfect + simple past is an exception and is gramaticaly correct. Using 'Had succesfully ", shows that the campaign is now over and then , he had named the company

I Manhattan SC, it is clearly written that almost always "being" brings redundancy and awkward sentence formation.
