IMO A.
B-- Meaning error -- Became journalist.. while publishing --> Wrong.
C-- Multiple use of And. Worked in Blacking Factory and Became journalist--> Meaning wise not in parallel.
D-- No verb "became"
E -- not in parallel.
Beside this, can anybody suggest the meaning of the phrase -- became a journalist as a young adult...--> journalist as a young adult??
