B.
'taking credit' does not sound right. For ex "They were allowed to do" is correct instead of "They were allowed doing".So that leaves us with A and B. In A , 'they' in the end is ambiguous. So B is the answer.

C/D/E "taking credit for" is wrong, need the infinitive verb usage
between A and B, in A "they" is ambigious and the verb tense is incorrect "had been responsible for"
so B for clarity
