WHY IS B WRONG?
"to try and recover" is not the correct idiom,
The correct idiom is :try to + verb

I hope this helps.

why C is wrong? Whether "trying to recover" sort of construction is used for future events.

I am confused in A & C. Though A seems right but I could not get why C is wrong.

IMO A.

The structure and meaning seems very clear in A with a possibility, period, an effort to something followed by a contrast, period, and why the effort is not preferred.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
