Many literary critics believe that [u]a partial source for Ayn Rand for her philosophy of Objectivism is due to her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution.

Two flaws..
1) a partial source .....is... And NOT a partial source ...is due to....
2) source for Ayn Rand is wrong, it has to be " a source for philosophy of Ayn.. etc

(A) a partial source for Ayn Rand for her philosophy of Objectivism is due to her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution
Both flaws 1 and 2... Incorrect

(B) a partial source for Ayn Rand for her philosophy of Objectivism is her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution
Flaw 2 .... Source for Ayn Rand for her....

(C) a partial source for Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism is due to her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution
Flaw 1.....source is DUE to

(D) a partial source for Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism is her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution
Both errors corrected

(E) Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism has at least partly its source from her experience during and after the Bolshevik Revolution
Awkward construction

In option D, what does 'her' refer to? It should ideally refer to Ayn Rand, but in the answer choice we have 'Ayn Rand's Philosophy'.

There is some debate regarding whether a personal pronoun such as "her" should refer back to a noun in the possessive form such as "Ayn Rand's," and the GMAT has come down on the side of the debate that says such references are OK by using such references in correct answers, such as the correct answer to the following question.
