I think E is the ans.It conveys the same meaning but in a simpler way. What is the OA?

This post received KUDOS
Option B - is wordy & awkward. Furthermore, it isn't parallel.
1st part - for having ... personality (why not for her personality?) 2-nd part - for her ... renderings
I think, there is a problem with style, not with grammar.

"having" - almost/always wrong in GMAT. Besides, (b) is not parallel

It is all about parallelism.
As well known for x as for y.
E is the right answer.
Remember that "having" is ALMOST always wrong in GMAT, but not always.
