afair one should select "C" in that situation as it is slightly more common than the other options usually.
the idea is that this way you "make sure" that some of your answers will be correct, while if you select answers at random you might statistically get as many or more correct, you can also just miss the correct answer each time. but it is very very unlikely that a test is designed in a way that "C" would never be the correct answer for 15 consecutive questions, for example.

I liked that movie but felt "Stranger than fiction" (2006) was even better and in a similar vein.

sure, unless you somehow chose B on all of the answers where C is correct and C on those where A, B or D is correct.
so yeah you have a chance to get a few more right, but also to have a few more (or all of them) wrong.
