Why are you saying that clone moved before he used Earth sign? As I said before he move his bombs while using Earth sign offscreen(we know that he use this sign offscreen because Sasuke said that Deidara is doing it in all his technuiq and we didn't saw it). Deidara probably does Earth sign while he's standing on his bird on first panel here: http://i25.mangareader.net/naruto/360/naruto-1569071.jpg And yes, breaking C4 can be named explosion. But because is unlike every other explosion done with Explosive Release (even Gari) I think Deidara did this with Earth Release via Earth sign. For example Naruto RasenShuriken also create explosion but with Wind chakra not with Explosive Release. Furthermore, Omoi used lightning as well when Deidara was caught in the fourth war. In that instance, Deidara wanted to blow himself up. There was no clay involved yet and still Omoi used the lightning.

If Sasuke used the lightning purely against the clay, then why did Omoi use lightning as well? Remind you, it was not for the paralysing effects, Deidara could still move and Sasori wasn't paralysed as well. Well I have an explanation with Omoi that concern things with Eath, Ligthing and Explosion Release but you gave me better one. Temporary paralysing effect. He stopped Diedara movement and give time to Kankuro to tie him up with sth from his Sasori doll. Deidara was inside doll so Omoi didn't know if Deidara was going to use his clay to make bomb or to put it into mouth in his chest (remind you that to do C0 Deidara need to put his clay to his chest), so he paralized him with Raiton. Sasori wasn't struck with Raiton so of course he wasn't paralized
