In a gist- we can say our conception has changed considerably since Jame's time.

"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?

In option C, "has" has to be used because it tells that we are talking about the present times i.e. now our conception "has" changed considerably.

What if we write "since the time of James" instead of "since James' time"?

(A). "Conception" is a misfit, it should be "Concept".
