I don't think its a debatable OA. The sentence is correct as it is.
The problem with E is that :-
1) It uses a apossitive(?) to change the meaning of the sentence. When George Elliot becoming famous is now in choice E not important to the overall meaning of the sentence.
2) In choice (E) "had been" is redundant because you don't need past perfect when there is no other event in context. Having "Before......" in the original sentence is relevant to the overall meaning and tense of the entire sentence.
I hope this helps!
