The subject of a sentence is the one that performs the action. The first step is to find the verb, what is that? 

Try

Now who exactly is trying something new and exciting? Well, it's told right before try, which is "your" so B 
Do you understand @brucebaner

Actually, the answer is C, an understood you. 

"For once in your life" is a combination of two prepositional phrases (for once and in your life), therefore, none of these words can be the subject as they serve another purpose in the sentence. 

Something is an object that comes after the verb "try," therefore, it can't be the subject.

Furthermore, the recipient of this sentence is being commanded to do something (imperative sentence), so it is perfectly grammatically acceptable to utilize an understood you in this case. 

If there are any questions regarding this, please let me know.

I'm sorry, @geneticrockhopper247 is correct, I was half awake reading that and didn't quite understand the understood you option, I was going back to what the your in the sentence was impliying, but that's not a subject.
