Can you help in understanding why option A is wrong?

Is it because of drawing from vs drawing on

gmatFalcon
Drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry, many modern novelists have focused their works about King Arthur on reconstructing as historically accurate a depiction of his story as possible.

A. Drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry
B. It being drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry
C. Historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry being drawn on for the source
D. Drawing it from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry
E. Drawing on historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry

A. Drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry - Many modern novelists "Drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry"- this does not make sense
B. It being drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry- Many modern novelists "It being drawn from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry"- this does not make sense
C. Historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry being drawn on for the source- Many modern novelists "Historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry being drawn on for the source"- this does not make sense
D. Drawing it from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry- Many modern novelists "Drawing it from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry"- drawing it ?, non sensical
E. Drawing on historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry-Many modern novelists "Drawing it from historical accounts, chronicles, and even medieval Welsh poetry" - BINGO!
