We are talking about a general observation/truth here - so the simple present tense 'do not' is most appropriate. That narrows down the choices to C and D. Option D incorrectly uses 'when' - 'when' is used either to indicate a particular instance in time, or to express a condition.
Thus, C is the correct answer.
