Mahatma Gandhi’s is credited as having championed a nonviolent approach to reform as a practical and moral means to struggle against social injustice.

A. as having
B. with having
C. to have
D. as the one who
E. for being the one who

The right idioms are "credit A to B" and "credit A with B". Hence, B and C are left.

In choice C, "be credited to have" is wrong grammatically, eliminated.

So B left is the answer.

Well it's just an idiom question, took me 3 seconds :)
It's 'Credited with', memorize that.
Not so fast! You can use credit in a number of ways. For example, if credit is a noun, you can use for and to with it. When credit is a verb, you use with only if the achievement is after credit. Otherwise, you use to (if the person responsible for the achievement is being mentioned after credit).

They were credited with creating a masterpiece.
The finding was credited to the students.

Whoa, thanks! Sometimes, when you learn GMAT grammar, you forget the rules you previously knew :-D (I encountered problems where credited with was correct so many times that I began to consider it a rule)

Yes. It's not as if the GMAT is using a grammar that hasn't been seen anywhere else :)
