Retaking a C- in AP biology?

I’m wanting to apply to an elite college. So far, my GPA stance is good. The only grades I’ve gotten that weren’t A’s were a B- and C- and they were in AP classes (AP psychology and AP biology). Luckily, the C- I got was only in the first semester so it didn’t change my GPA by much. Should I retake AP biology A? I didn’t take chemistry or general bio before, but I maintained an A in the class. The downfall in both my AP classes were mainly due to medical interventions. I got an extension for AP psychology, but it was a poor extension and my AP biology teacher wouldn’t give me an extension at all. The only reason I got a C- is because by school policies my medical excuse served as liable excuse to let me finish the last test I didn’t get to turn in on time. Will it look bad to elite colleges if I retake it? Thank you!
