Hello!

The problem with answer C is that changing the word "having" to "as" requires the writer to change the verb tense in the rest of the sentence. By doing this, the sentence now has inconsistent verb tenses throughout the sentence. Here is a breakdown of just the verbs in each answer:

Answer A (Correct): have received / having been prescribed / having been taken off
Answer C (Incorrect): have received / having / being

As you can see, in answer A, all of the verbs are present perfect tense. However, in answer C, the last two verbs are not in present perfect tense. To help make sure the answer uses consistent verbs, I also suggest reading them without the interrupting phrase "for example," which is there to confuse test takers.

I'm available if you'd like any follow up.
