Could you please explain why C is correct rather than B? Is it because the issue of distinct writing styles is only a problem for human translators due to several translators completing a work? So this wouldn't be an issue for computer translators (assuming one computer translation is uniform)?

Yep. The stylistic difference are due to the multiple translators. Seems relatively safe to assume that a single computer program would do a document, and that it would be consistent.
However, for B, the case is clear. That's a relevant question, because what if the whole "80% accuracy rate" is total nonsense? What if 80% accuracy by computer is less readable than the stylistic differences of the human translators?
