The sentence that needs a hyphen is C. She is a self proclaimed expert on insect behavior.

You absolutely have to have a hyphen between the words self and proclaimed (self-proclaimed) because it is a compound adjective (meaning that it consists of more than one word) which is why it has to be hyphenated. The remaining options are okay they way they are written.
