Can some help me understand why, such as in C, that woman is not being persecuted? If I google the definition of persecution, I get the following: "subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of their ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation or their political beliefs."

I do not understand how C does not fulfill this definition of persecution and thus work as the answer.

For D, we do not know for sure that she is facing persecution for being a member of a particular group. Maybe the group is simply "being a member of that country." Whereas, in C, we know that she is facing persecution BECAUSE she is a member of a particular group.
