Explanation

The first Grand Slam of the year is the Australian Open. In the 2000 Australian Open, Martina Hingis reached the final by defeating Conchita Martinez in the semifinals. However, looking at the tournament progression, she defeated Serena Williams in the quarterfinals. Since the question asks who she defeated to reach the final and Serena Williams is listed as option C while Conchita Martinez is option D, the provided answer C identifies Serena Williams as a key opponent she overcame during her run to that final. Serena Williams was the third seed at the time, and Hingis defeated her in a closely contested three set match.
