a comma placed after the word "and" is known as an "oxford comma" and it isn't wrong to do it! So i would say C and put a comma in front of it.

They are all incorrect. Whoever set your test didn't do a very good job of it. The only acceptable version would be to use which, but with a comma in front of it.

The sentence is not gramattically correct anyway. You should say something like:-
'The students learned to read and write having been taught how to do so by their teacher.'

I'd say c, but would also use a comma if I were writing it.

None of the selections apply.
The students learned to read and write by what their teacher taught.

, which.
Remember a "which" always takes a comma before it.
