  I'd say D given that he was baptized with the given names Arthur Ignatius Conan and the surname Doyle, and the British Library and the LOC both use "Doyle" so doing so would be following their example.

  
  

  I could definitely get why people would use C, though.

  Exactly, because Spanish has a tradition of double surnames, which some people just don't get.
