In many upper-class Egyptian homes, French was spoken within the family, just as it had once been among the Russian aristocracy.

(B) just like it once been among the Russian aristocracy
(C) just as Russian aristocracy had once done

Why not C?
C is incorrect because speak doesn´t have an object. It is an instransitive verb. So you can´t say "had once done" (done what?) Besides the comparison in C "French...just as Russian aristcracy" is also incorrect. You can´t compare French with aristocracy that´s why you need "it" in A.
