The option that best improves the underlined portion of the sentence is:

C. supposes

So, the revised sentence would read: "he supposes that their present dispositions and instincts are the same which they originally had, and that their present manner of life is a continuance of their first destination."

This option maintains the correct tense and subject-verb agreement within the sentence.
