My take : Option C
P.S:C and D are close to answer,but preferred C to D as D has the adverb 'most often usually' which is not relevant to the given sentence...

2. exempt can be used both as a verb and as an adjective
Verb
Small businesses have been exempted from the tax increase.
Adjective
Goods exempt from this tax include books and children's clothes.
So, in your sentence it is being used as an adjective.
