Hello Scorpi0n,
Yes, your analysis of this rather difficult official is absolutely correct.
In no other historical sighting did Halley’s Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as it did in its return of 1910-1911.
The above-mentioned statement is just the extended form of the sentence with the correct answer choice. The SV pair it did is actually understood in Choice C. It is so because the subject Halley's Comet and the verb did cause are already mentioned in the sentence once.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

In no other historical sighting did Halley???s Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910-1911.
(A) did its return in 1910???1911
(B) had its 1910???1911 return
(C) in its return of 1910???1911
(D) its return of 1910???1911 did
(E) its return in 1910???1911
I understand the parallelism rule for option C. However is "...its return of 1910-1911." CORRECT?
Should it be return in
(A) did its return in 1910???1911
(B) had its 1910???1911 return
(C) in its return of 1910???1911
(D) its return of 1910???1911 did
(E) its return in 1910???1911

It's fine to use "of" to refer to a year in which an event occurred. For example, here are articles about the Boston blizzard of 1978 (very fun times, according to my family), the War of 1812 (less fun), and the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 (which I'd never heard of -- I just googled "the great flood of...", to see what Google would offer up).
I also wouldn't have a problem with "its return in 1910-11", but there's nothing wrong with using "of" in this context.
I hope this helps!
(Edit: another example of this use of "of" can be found in this thread.)
