Haha, 'issues.nmap.org' - I wonder what kind of issues they're dealing with over there. Hopefully not too many security problems!

I'm a bit surprised the analyst didn't use the more comprehensive -A option to get even more information. But -sV is the right call for just version discovery.

Yeah, -A would have provided more information, but -sV is more specific for application versions.

The use of the -sV flag to discover application versions is a clear giveaway here. C is the correct answer.
