In option D
D. Having lived for several years in Tahiti, where life was slow and relaxed, Paul Gauguin had difficulty readjusting to the hectic pace of Paris upon his return.
clearly here Tahiti modifies where life was slow and relaxed phrase but in C several years don't seem to modify the same.

Hence D

Wordy for C? It's the same exact amount of words as the OA, just rearranged.

WHERE, on gmat is used to refer to some location noun. So it should be next to Tahiti, which is being described by where non-essential modifier

It would be fine in real-life English. On the GMAT, it's best to get modifiers and their referents as close together as possible (for maximum clarity). If you are faced with a similar dilemma on test day, go with the answer that places them closer together.

Probably Because it is wordy when compared to option D.
