C Correct answer
Explanation

The past perfect 'had sold' is incorrect in this context. The sentence describes a sequence: she bought the computer, then sold it six months later. Simple past 'sold' is appropriate because the selling happened after the buying, not before another past event. The past perfect tense is used for events completed before another past action.
