C Correct answer
Explanation

(3) J. Francisco Chaves. This is a simple sentence which permits only a single subject with a single verb (or predicate). The third option " J. Fransisco Chaves " alone fits in here, as the other choices containing words like, "who"," if" and " in that", would convert the sentence into a complex sentence where an additional subordinate clause will be created needing one more finite verb.
