A. of paying homage to the late fashion designer, who was the founder of the Chanel brand and was credited (Correct)

B. of paying homage to the late fashion designer that had been founding the Chanel brand and was crediting (Incorrect)

C. for paying homage to the late fashion designer while founding the Chanel brand and being credited (Incorrect)

D. to pay homage to the late fashion designer while founding the Chanel brand and being credited (Incorrect)

E. to pay homage to the late fashion designer and who was the founder of the Chanel brand and was crediting (Incorrect)

Option A is correct because of the correct usage of word "who" in the sentence which modifies about the late fashion designer who founded the Chanel brand. In addition to that of paying homage also matches is also grammatically correct and goes with the phrase "was his way".

A. of paying homage to the late fashion designer, who was the founder of the Chanel brand and was credited

best parallelism issue free and clear meaning above all.

B. of paying homage to the late fashion designer that had been founding the Chanel brand and was crediting

wrong verb used, although it should use past tense but founding is meaning that the founding went on going rather than just found.

C. for paying homage to the late fashion designer while founding the Chanel brand and being credited

meaning error paying and founding done by the same person?No.

D. to pay homage to the late fashion designer while founding the Chanel brand and being credited

same error as in C.

E. to pay homage to the late fashion designer and who was the founder of the Chanel brand and was crediting

tense error, was creditiing?

Official Explanation:

The correct idiomatic expression is way of. In addition, the verbs in the underlined section have to be parallel, and was the founder and was credited have the same form and the same tense. The original sentence is grammatically correct and logically sound, meaning (A) is the correct answer.

#ARAGONN
Since the subject of the non underlined portion is Silent fim" Lagerfeld's silent film", what does his refer to?

I have a doubt.

If option E says
to pay homage to the late fashion designer who was the founder of the Chanel brand and was credited
can it be the Answer?
because way to is not a wrong idiom right?

Way for is an incorrect idiom so eliminate C. The progressive tense in B is incorrect because we are not emphasizing the time period over which it was done but just that it was completed. In general progressive tenses should only be used when necessary (which is only when we are emphasizing time periods). D is incorrect because the modifier "while founding" is ambiguous. Who is doing the founding is unclear. E is incorrect because of parallelism. We cannot put thee who after the and since there was no who before the and.
