In my opinion it is letter d, because in "I can see clearly now", clearly is an adverb of manner, it is specifying the way the person sees sth. And also because of its positions, I mean, adverbs of manner are put after the direct object (or after the verb if there's no direct object). Ref. myenglishpages
And in "You clearly have not understood what I just said", clearly is a comment adverb. Comment and viewpoint adverbs add information about the speaker's opinion of events.
