C Correct answer
Explanation

'Still' is used to emphasize that a situation continues to exist at the present time, often contrary to expectations. 'She still can't swim' suggests that despite being sixteen (an age by which most people learn to swim), she continues to lack this ability. 'Still' is placed before the modal 'can't' in this sentence structure.
