(A) Socrates could have fled from Athens after he was sentenced to death, but he refused to do it. ---> we should use "so" instead of "it" . because we refer to a verb not a noun.
(B) After he was sentenced to death, Socrates might have fled from Athens, but he refused to do it. ---> same as in A
(C) After he was sentenced to death, Socrates could have fled from Athens, but he refused to do so. ---> Correct
(D) Refusing to flee from Athens, Socrates could have done so after he was sentenced to death. ---> "so" refers to what ??
(E) Socrates could have fled from Athens but refused to after he was sentenced to death. ---> we need "so" after "refused to". moreover, this choice changes the meaning. it sounds as if he changed his mind to do so after he was sentenced !
