Correct answer
C. what is more
Step-by-step solution
The sentence connects two positive ideas: finding a career that the speaker loves, and getting paid reasonably for it.

The phrase 'what is more' is used to add a point that is even more important or to emphasize an additional point. It fits perfectly in the context of the sentence.
The completed sentence reads: 'The difference is that I have been fortunate to find a career that I love and, what is more, I am getting paid reasonably for it.'
