Our Conception of ''what a science of mental life should be'' has changed considerably since Jame's time.
Here our conception is subject.
In a gist- we can say our conception has changed considerably since Jame's time.
On the other hand the remaining part - 'What a science of mental life should be'.

"Has changed considerably since James' time". It means 'Subject' has changed 'something'. But I think the idea is, 'Something' has changed 'Our conception of what should a science of mental life be'! if this is right, then option C should be "has been changed considerably since James time". Isn't it?
