I doubt it if it is D, as D removes the 'though'- a contrast that is required in the context of this sentence. I am contemplating on A and C.
A-- if there is a need to stress on the past-past action (had)
C-- if it pretty evident that the order of actions is obvious (had success... opted out)

to me, the answer choice is A since the the action in the first part happened before the second action; that is, he has been successful before he choose to come out or resign, whatever... then the first action need to be past perfect as an earlier action...
