Answer : Option C
Explanation :
To 'look plain' means to be ordinary-looking which is what the sentence suggests. She was 'ordinary-looking' or she was 'looking plain' but later she turned out to be beautiful. Hence, 'looked plain' in the simple past is the most appropriate replacement for the part given in bold.
