The correct answer is B. The right form of the word is so-called not "called so". Hence D and C can be eliminated.
A has a modifier error by wrongly bringing " on November 5" which is intended to modify the verb "was imprisoned" before it. Similar error occurs in option E. Hence A and E can also be eliminated.
