Here, in option C, it should be Neither nor instead of either.

I think C is the answer because (either the principles he stood for or the benefits he promised) its sound weird also.

The answer is D, @Aravind.
Nor cannot be used because they could not understand which of the situation is confusing him. If it is 'neither and nor', none of the situations is confusing him.

Neither indicates that the two ideas are linked together. It's kind of like a negative conjunction. But if you use neither, then make sure your sentence does not have any other negatives preceding it. If you prefer to use a negative, then you want to use either.

I think the answer is A because the candidate was confusing because it was his first time.

I agree with the above explanation. Since the sentence is in past tense, understood will come instead of understand.

Understood is the correct way. Because the sentence is in past form.
