We know an activity past to a recent past should take Past Participle form. (HAD + Verb)
Now see what is the Verb here? (This is the point when we generally make mistake... its not grammar its logic)
The verb here is "Have".
For example,
I have lunch. (This means you have it but you are not having [eating] it. Generally, rather than eating lunch we say having lunch)
I have had my lunch. (The sentence is in present participle form, the usage of HAD is nothing but participle form of HAVE)
I had had my lunch. (Past Participle)
Now replace the "my lunch" with "success".
I had had success. The green had is the verb which can be replaced by possessed or achieved etc. Sounds correct?
This is what implemented in option A which makes the option correct.
In option C you are either missing the VERB or missing the Past Participle form. So, incorrect.
