mwauthor
could not understand the reason behind selection of B over C
Hello, mwauthor. This question comes down purely to idiom. Someone is credited with an idea, an invention, or some action. We can see the word credit in other contexts, and perhaps this was causing some confusion:1) He is a credit to his name.
2) He received full credit for turning in his report on time.
However, credited appears in a more restrictive form, and we could not rewrite either of the above sentences using the word plus to or for. It is just one of those quirks of the language.
I would not lose too much sleep over this one. It would be rare to see a short underline such as what we have above in which the sole decision point came down to an idiom. Such questions may have been more common decades ago, but I do not hear reports of them these days in the forum.
Good luck with your studies.
