She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to her native Germany, photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States. Meaning;
The success status of Lotte Jacobi is compared when she was in Germany, than her success status after going to NY.A. She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to success/less success can not be compared to a country-incorrectB. Being less successful after she had emigrated to New York as compared to "being"is incorrect also, success can not be compared to a country-incorrectC. Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in Comparison is logically and grammatically parallel by using "in " which states the success status of Jacobi in both places.D. Although she was less successful after emigrating to New York when compared to success can not be compared to a country-incorrectE. She had been less successful after emigrating to New York than in distorted meaning (C) wins

Hello all, Those were great responses. I would like to add that "successful" is an adjective, and it correctly modifies the subject of the sentence, photographer Lotte Jacobi. I accidentally eliminated C because it seemed like in awkward modifier...

If we remove "nevertheless" from D, then is D a correct option
