As per me, (C) is the best option here. Couple of reasons for that-
A) ... had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest flying creature - incorrectly suggesting that wingspan of 36feet was the largest flying creature.
D & E) Similar reasoning as for (A)
B) ... had a wingspan of 36 feet, and that is believed to be the largest flying creature - 'that' incorrectly used instead of 'it' while talking about Quetzalcoatlus.
C) The only option left

For this particular question the answer (C) doesn't quite satisfy GMAT style
