'Still' is an adverb of time which is used for emphasizing that something is continuing. The rule says we don't use still before the auxiliary verb or modal verb in an affirmative clause. It is placed after the first auxiliary verb. 'Is' is an auxiliary verb. The given sentence is an example of an affirmative clause thus, option C is the correct answer.
