C) Regardless of whether certain psychological problems are genetically determined or cemented in early childhood -- the subject of lively debate -- they are ultimately irrelevant to psychological treatment.
C changes the meaning. The original sentence talks only about treatment. C talks about psychological treatment. Also They refers to psychological problems and this means that Psychological problems are irrelevant to psychological treatment. The intended meaning is that the debate is irrelevant.

C: early childhood -- the subject of lively debate
Here, the subject seems to be in apposition to early childhood, implying that EARLY CHILDHOOD is THE SUBJECT of lively debate.
Not the intended meaning.
The intended meaning is that the source of certain psychological problems is the subject of lively debate.
Eliminate C.
