GMAT CLUB TESTS' OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
The question tests for the following two issues:
Issue 1: Comparison
The comparison is intended to be made between two adverbial phrases “in no other performance” and “in her comeback”. The main subject of the sentence is “the Gymnast” and the main verb is “did create” or “had created”. By introducing a second verb for “her comeback” in the dependent clause, “her comeback” is made the subject of the dependent clause, and thereby a wrong comparison is introduced between the main subject “the gymnast” and the subject of the dependent clause “her comeback”.
Issue 2: Tense
To depict a sequence of past events, past perfect is used for the earlier event and simple past for the latter. However, use of past perfect is not required when the sequence is already clear, for example, when the adverb “before” clarifies the sequence.
A. Wrong because of issue 1: “the Gymnast” and “her comeback” have been wrongly compared. Some users may argue that there is no verb in the dependent clause, but it should be noted that if the verb in the dependent clause is same as that in the main clause, then it is often omitted - so is the case here: the verb “did” is omitted in this option; nonetheless the construction still makes “her comeback” the subject of the dependent clause (with an omitted verb) and hence introduces a comparison error.
B. Wrong because of issue 1: “the Gymnast” and “her comeback” have been wrongly compared.
C. Wrong because of issue 1: “the Gymnast” and “her comeback” have been wrongly compared.
Wrong because of issue 2: Use of past perfect “had never created” is redundant because the adverb “before” already clarifies the sequence.
Moreover the use of past perfect “had” in the dependent clause is also wrong, If at all a verb is to be used, it must be simple past. (The use of any verb in the dependent clause is wrong, whatsoever, as explained in issue 1)
D. Wrong because of issue 1: “the Gymnast” and “her comeback” have been wrongly compared.
Wrong because of issue 2: Use of past perfect “had never created” is redundant because the adverb “before” already clarifies the sequence.
E. CORRECT. Two prepositional phrases ““in no other performance” and “in her comeback” are correctly compared - there is only one subject (“ the Gymnast”) and one verb (“did create”) in the sentence.

I believe E should be the answer as it correctly compares the previous performances to the comeback performance using the structure "in no other X as in Y"
