IMO (C)

You are supposed to use the objective pronoun after a verb or preposition.

Use I, if it is the subject of the sentence.

I also think that "had" is not needed.

IMO B

the zoning board approved the new housing project before it adjourned.

So we must use past perfect => B & D

Between Robert & I vs Robert & me , I choose I because it's subjective position here
