Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Otto Preminger was a director who openly challenged the Production Code Administration by including controversial themes and scenes in his films. His films such as "The Moon is Blue" (1953) and "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959) were initially denied Production Code approval for their content, but Preminger released them anyway and they were successful, leading to the eventual breakdown of the Production Code.
