If I recall correctly, option C required the tracks to go underground under the current Arlington Potomac Yard development, pass under 4MR, then an equally onerous process for coming back to the original tracks. It was definitely technically infeasible. Option D is the only remaining option for west of the CSX tracks.

And about cost, while I'm sure D is more expensive by a good margin, option A might be more expensive than they thought since they have to work almost entirely nighttime hours, making labor much more expensive and disturbance to neighbors more of an issue.
