A is wrong because " in response to a challenge to create a ghost story.
" should modify wife, not Frankestein, so it should not be placed the way it is.

Hi GPabla
A and E are quite different in meaning. Let see examples:
(1) I fixed my care in response to the bad weather
(2) In response to the bad weather, I fixed my car.
The first sentence means my car was broken because of the bad weather, so I had to fix it. The second sentence, however, means I forecast the weather would be bad (rainy, storm, etc...). To avoid accidence, I fixed (maintenance) my car.
Back to the question, E is much better. If you say "the wife....wrote the Frankenstein in respond to a challenge....". It's like the story Frankenstein VS a challenge. But if you say "In respond to a challenge, the wife of.... wrote the Frankenstein". The action "wrote" is conveyed much clearer.
Hence, E is correct.
Hope it helps.
