i think it shud be A
The main catch is between A and C , other options can be ruled out without much effort.
in C "for guiding" is a less preferred form on the Gmat (as per me ! )
also in A " to Maryland to guide " makes more sense ; here "to guide" is "the infinitive" form.

Why is herself wrong? We use reflexive pronoun when subject and object are the same. Harriet Tubman an escaped slave herself. hereself --object and Harriet Tubman -subject. Other options.. "hereself" is not acting as an object
