parallelism + modifier error
>> Modifier, Person, Modifier and Modifier , singular verb
We would be left with B and E

E is preferred :
B has extra issues : avoid also + contribute for +celebrates through

Hi AjiteshArun, AndrewN

Do you think that it is really a make or break deal of having "of" in the option C? I chose the options C as "of" seemed to be necessary for the continuity, given that we have an appositive "the first African-American woman in space" between "figurines of astronaut Mae Jemison" and "computer scientist Margaret Hamilton".

It is funny, abhishekmayank. I must have been one of the first people to have seen this question on the forum, and I nearly posted on it then, since I am what is known as an AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO); at the time, I was the only person out of about a handful to have answered correctly, and I like sharing my thoughts in such a situation. Anyway, here we are. You ask the million-dollar question: is of a deal-breaker in (C)? The answer is yes, as I will explain, but it involves more than just not being required. Rather, it has everything to do with meaning. Consider the following:

1) LEGO included figures of A and B.

2) LEGO included figures of A and of B.

The first sentence conveys that LEGO designed/made and included in the set a figure of whatever is named in place of A and B, respectively. The second, however, conveys that LEGO produced and included multiple figures of each of A and B. In the sentence at hand, choice (C) is indicating that each set contains figurines of both A, Mae Jemison, and B, Margaret Hamilton. I suppose that is possible if, for instance, there were one figurine of Mae Jemison in astronaut gear and another of Mae Jemison in plainclothes, and Margaret Hamilton were given the same figurine treatment, but the sentence seems to be driving at a single figurine each of Mae Jemison and Margaret Hamilton. For that reason, choice (C) fails where (E) succeeds. Note that if the keyword figurines were singular instead—a figurine—the of A and of B construct would be appropriate (to differentiate from a description of a single figurine of the two women together).

I hope that helps. If you see any other LEGO questions, feel free to draw my attention to them.
