C Nikki was very impatient from Donald because he never showed up on time.
The prepositional phrase "from Donald" is unidiomatic in this context. A more idiomatic way to express this thought would be "with Donald" or "at Donald."
The correction would be: "Nikki was very impatient with Donald because he never showed up on time."
