Verb problem: coordinating and capitalized (two different tenses)
So A & B is wrong.
between C, D , E : c sounds right.
D : wrong place of modifier "In the illustrations".
Basically there are two modifiers.
1. Illustrations - which are carefully coordinated with her narratives by Beatrix
2. Beatrix potter, who capitalized on her...and (also coordinated illustrations)
You might think about mixing it. Like Beatrix coordinated illustrations and also capitalized it but its wrong.
E. again wrong place of modifier

Shouldnt C be incorrect ? I read somewhere that after comma we cant use "which"..It can be used after a noun, right ?
