I went through the answer choices, in C I didn't like wide availability
in B today should have come initially not later

I received a PM asking me to comment.

The intended meaning of the original sentence is that today...counterfeiting is more difficult than it was at the time of the Civil War.

In B and C, it is not crystal clear what is being modified by today. It must be clear what a modifier is modifying. Eliminate B and C.

The correct answer is A.
