At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Bill Clinton showed great sagacity and insight of economic judgment that could entitle him to be considered as one of the greatest post-war Presidents of the US and that makes his tenure the most prosperous era of the country.

Two areas are being tested here. The idiom consider and the S-V number agreement.
-Consider -is a rare verb (comprise is another) that does not take an accompaniment of either a pronoun such as- due to-, or - as -or the infinitive - to be -. Hence Choices A and C are out.
On the contrary, the verb- regard -necessarily takes the preposition as every time it is used in the sense of consider or deem. Hence - regarded like - in D and simply- regarded- in E are wrong.
Now on to S-V agreement. What things entitle Clinton? Two things namely -great sagacity and insight of economic judgment – This object in effect becomes the subject of the sub-ordinate clause introduced by the conjunction that. So the sub-ordinate verbs have to be plural verbs; could entitle has no problems but the second verb has to be -that make - rather than - that makes. -
Can we now see why B is the only one that stands the idiom as well as S-V test, a point uniformly missed by most respondents. Kudos to muditadixit81 for hitting the bull’s eye

C it is. I really like A but I think "consider as" is unidiomatic.
A- Considered as is the incorrect idiom on the GMAT as it doesn't like the use of consider+as. In any case, its use is declining in contemporary English.
B- Incorrect because of the subject-verb disareement- "make" should be "makes".
D- "Regarded like" is incorrect
E- Regard should be followed by as.
