The OA given is D.

The underlined part is in the past perfect tense and the other action where Mary became something something is in the simple past tense. Could you please tell me that why A and B are wrong and then why D is correct.

Not really. It is similar to:

At the time when India was ruled by British, Gandhiji became a champion of freedom.

As you would appreciate, the above sentence does not talk about a time before Gandhiji became to champion of freedom.

As Mitch likes to say, these are contemporaneous events.

Also by the way, A and B use present perfect not past perfect.
