C is correct

Check digit can be calculated by the following way:
step 1:
Add all the digits except the check digit that is the last digit on the right side.
             Total+=+0+%2B+2+%2B+4+%2B+6+%2B+7+%2B+9+%2B+3+%2B+6+%2B+1+%2B+6+%2B+3
             Total+=+47
step 2:
     Add the digits at odd starting from left, double this amount and finally add it with the total from step 1.
             = 0+%2B+4+%2B+7+%2B+3+%2B+1+%2B+3
     =>sum=18
      Doubling the sum 2%2A18+=+36
     Adding it with the total from step 1, we get
        Total+=+36+%2B+47
        Total+=+83
 Subtract the last digit of the total from step 2 with 10, and this will be check digit.
        Check+_Digit+%C2%A0=+10+-+3
        Check+_Digit+%C2%A0=+7

answer: C. 7
