Definitely C.

and raunekk is absolutely right, CR did an awesome job at explaining this.

From that list of relationships you gave,
A-->B
B-->C
C-->D
So we can also say A-->D. The contrapositive is switching it around and adding "not". so not D-->not A

I'd say C but I'm afraid more because of my intuition than any logic.
