Good question. I think they all fit and I don't know why they have a comma after "time".

(1) I "vote" for A, C, and D:

Mr. Kurtz sees the meaninglessness of Asian standards, and so/thus/therefore

[he] changes his entire perception and behavior.

(2) Maybe (maybe) "A" (as your teacher told you) is preferable because technically

speaking, some strict teachers feel that "thus" and "therefore" need special

punctuation. Maybe something like:

...of the time; thus, he changes ...

...of the time; therefore, he changes ...

(Teachers nowadays accept "so" as a coordinating conjunction that needs only a

comma: ...of the time, so he changes ...)
