CBR value = load on soil sample [subgrade]/standard load x 100.
Thickness of pavement depends on the subgrade,
So, the Answer C.

Answer C is correct. This is the drawback of CBR method. We will get the total thickness based on CBR of the subgrade. Even if we use good quality materials above its total thickness remains the same.
