Quite simply, it is a test of whether you know the pretty standard expression "to make it possible to + verb".

B is correct.The noun "photographs" requires an infinitive (TO reproduce) to describe an action happening to it.
The "it" in "made it" makes C incorrect, as the "it" would refer to nothing. With the "it" there, the sentence suggests that something ("it") is being made into a possibility.
