Hi Experts , question 5. Is this option correct:

9 Patrick Woodroffe is a poet and painter that is able to make a living at it

(A) Patrick Woodroffe is a poet and painter that is able to make a living at it
(B) Patrick Woodroffe is able to make a living as a poet and painter
(C) A poet and painter, Patrick Woodroffe is able to make a living at it
(D) Patrick Woodroffe makes a living as a poet and a painter
(E) By writing poetry and painting is how Patrick Woodroffe makes a living

The intended meaning of the original sentence is clearly giving stress upon "being as a poet & a painter" and it says this is the only medium through which patrick can able to earn something, while option D is pretty straight forward and missing the intended stress on his profession.
Am I making sense? Btw what is wrong with option B? It is having that stress component as well
