B is certainly a better option than C for the following reasons:
1. 'has come to believe that' in option B clearly brings out the intended meaning that Dr Swenson came to this conclusion on the basis of his hours of watching these animals. 'has now the belief that' in option C does not provide as strong a connector between these two.
2. The construction 'has now the belief that' is very awkward. The right way to write this would be 'now has the belief that'

You are right - I missed it. The passive structure would be '...the belief is now had that...'
