Explanation

Option C uses the UNIQUE function to extract distinct values from column A, then SORTs them in descending order, and finally INDEX returns the second item in that sorted list, effectively giving the second highest unique value. Options A and B do not handle duplicates properly, while option D finds the second smallest unique value instead.
