Answer 2

A - I wish he were more prolific.

The past tense verb for to be is were/was. Seeing as there are only two answers that include that(A and C), it will narrow down the choices.

The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and hypothetical situations.

(e.g. If I were in your place, I would not do it.)

Seeing as C does not express a wish, demand, or a hypothetical situation, the answer is A.
