c.
It's the only one that doesn't have "I" or "Me" as the subject .

D- I think it's due to the drop in syllables at the end. Not sure though.
Never mind- it's C. I looked it up and it says that it changes a subject into a particle. In sentence C- "case of beer GETS DRUNK" - "gets drunk" is the passive particle

C is passive, it doesn't mention who is doing the drinking. Conversely, A, B and D are active - "I" is not seeing the point, wanting MTV and not wanting to be told.
