In his groundbreaking work on special relativity, Albert Einstein isplayed an intellectual boldness in the face of a reluctant scientific establishment that was not unlike that of Galileo Galilei, who refused to accept the intellectual limits placed on him by the censors of the Church.

A. not unlike that of Galileo Galilei, who refused
B. like Galileo Galilei and his refusal
C. not unlike Galileo Galilei, who refused
D. like that of Galileo Galilei for refusing
E. as that of Galileo Galilei, who refused

Also for A for more clarity, correct referant and correct modifying phrase..

IMO, "that" refers to "an intellectual boldness" not "a reluctant scientific establishment" becasue "not unlike that of ......." means "like that of ......". So what is "that of Galilei"? A reluctant scientific establishment? not, it is "an intellectual boldness".

A. correct comparision.
B. incorrect comparision.
C. Same as B.
D. correct comparision but incorrect phrase "for refusing............"
E. "as that of Galileo Galilei"? No, as is not correct..

I think, "that" after "establishment" is introducing a clause to modify "establishment", hence "that of GG" is referring to GG's establishment.
