It seems to me that Choice C is anything but the correct answer.

The construction of Chioce C tries to make "Child Prodigy" , an appositive, precede the subject Clara Schumann.
It has two key errors:

First, we need the indefinite article "an" to stand before the "Child Prodidy"; However, we can find no "an" in Choice C

Second,
"that" should be considered as a "relative pronoun" when it is used to
introduce an relative clause. Therefore, "that" should act as the
objects or the subject in the surbordinate clause rather than the
complement, as it is in Choice C.

If you want to use the structure such as "Child prodiy...she was", you should express as below:

"A Child Prodigy as she was, Clara Schumann..."
