"Legacy" requires a noun after verb "is" to make sense --> C,D,E out of the list A is wrong, so B is the choice

can the structure "to realize that X" be justified here.
Either I have realized "X" in which case I will go for "realization" or "realized" ,
or I don't know what "X" is so I can't really comment whether I have to realize "X" or something else.
Can sm1 throw some light on it . Can all the "to realize" options be discarded on the above ground.

I chose C, because "his or her" is better than "their"

+1 B "as" = during; while. We need that concept in this question. Between B and E, an action noun is better than a gerund.
