Aren't we losing information in option D. She did not spend all the 53 years struggling.

Yeah, none of these are great. I see the appeal of D, but Moubani makes an excellent point. I don't imagine Noether was fighting the system from birth to death! Also, her success would not really be despite her struggles with the system, but despite the troubles the system caused her. However, C creates an odd adverbial modifier that doesn't really fit the action that follows. Now it seems like her contributions to math and physics came about specifically because of her struggles with the system. That's not good, either. So cheers to the great Emmy Noether, but this problem needs some work.
