Tough one. IMO C

Although he played many memorable parts in his half-century career, it was "The Andy Griffith Show" and his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.

a it was "The Andy Griffith Show" and his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.

Distorted meaning .. Show .. and his portrayal is wrong...

b Don Knott's portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" brought him TV immortality and five Emmy awards.

He cannot refer to Don Knott's (possesive)

c Don Knotts earned TV immortality and five Emmy awards for his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show."

Looks better of all.

d Don Knotts earned TV immortality and five Emmy awards based upon his portrayal on "The Andy Griffith Show" of the bumbling Deputy Barney Fife.
Awkward. Seems that awards were based upon his portrayal

e it was his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards.
that brought Don Knotts TV immortality and five Emmy awards. is awkward. Awards were not brought to him .. but he earned them...

It is a very simple logic.
A character is always portrayed and is never based on

So C
