A: (correct) parallelism maintained in the given timeline
B: He pronoun is not necessary in the modifier
C:This changes the meaning and timeline of the sentence
D: 'Known as' missing. Also gap between yusuf and Cat stevens is a tad bit much hence distorting the meaning
E: Two times 'and'
B: He pronoun is not necessary in the modifier
C:This changes the meaning and timeline of the sentence

Official explanation:
With choice (C), moving "converted to Islam" before his old name changes the meaning of the sentence and returned breaks the parallelism.
As with choice (B), the phrases in choice (D) are not parallel. Additionally, the idiom "was known as" is better than just "was" in this sentence.
Choice (E) moves "subsequently returned to his music career" is in the wrong location, which is modifying Cat Stevens, his original stage name. As with choice (D), it's better to use "was known as".
Therefore, the original sentence is the best one, which makes choice (A) the correct answer.
