KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
D
Here a comparison is being made, so we have to be sure it's a logical comparison. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,and the other revolutionary heroes cannot be compared with the reputation of Thomas Paine. Nor can those heroes’reputations be com- pared with Paine himself. So (A), (B), and (C) can be eliminated. The phrase “so much so that”in (E) is too wordy.

Here's my approach !!
So, A,B,C are out because of incorrect comparison.
persons are being compared to reputation
D.Hold it looks fine...reputation is being compared to reputation ..So that construction is also fine..
the reputation has a proper verb suffered..
Sp this option looks fine
E. so much so that--incorrect idiom
bad comparison
Thomas Paine’s reputation suffered greatly--lacks object
My OA would be D
Press Kudos if it helps!!
