C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'had worked hard for it'. The past perfect tense 'had worked' is needed because working hard happened before passing the exam (past tense). 'Worked hardly' is incorrect because 'hardly' means barely/seldom. 'Was working hard' is past continuous which doesn't fit. Note: Option D has a typo 'itt'.
