How do I go about finding the reactions? (Part A)
I assumed that the reactions would be Az, Bz and Cz. I then found the moments about point A, point B and point C - So I then had three unknowns Az, Bz, and Cz from these equations. I then solved the three equations simultaneously to get Az, Bz and Cz. Is this the right way to answer the question?

Of course it is, as long as your equations accurately describe the system.

I tried but I can't get an answer...

Why is that? I need to know how your tried to solve them equations to determine where the mistake is.
