Rule out A,B and E for pronoun reference.
D for wordiness
C remains

Error tested is Modifier.

(A) her veterinarian was persuaded to treat her cat at her home, a rather combative two-year-old black male [who is dreading the trip to the clinic? veterinarian? LOL!! Eliminated!]


(B) she persuaded her veterinarian to treat her cat at her home, the cat being a rather combative two-year-old black male [ who is this she? Eliminated!]

(C) Jessica persuaded her veterinarian to treat her cat, a rather combative two-year-old black male, at her home [ correct!]

(D) Jessica persuaded her veterinarian that her rather combative two-year-old black male cat would best be treated at her home [ persuaded X to do something should be the proper sentence formation. Eliminated!]


(E) she persuaded her veterinarian that her home should be the place that her rather combative two-year-old black male cat was treated at [ you can never end a sentence with a preposition. Eliminated!]
Hope this helps!

My Pick is C. Correct Idiomatic usage Persuade X to Y. Also Inclusion of name Jessica omits ambiguity and modifiers are well placed forming correct sentence structure.
