According to me Answer should be option C.
As "A distinguished physician who worked from the 1930s to the 1970s" is modifying Dr Marvin, So we can eliminate A,d and E.
And b/w B and C, only option C use notably correctly.

Choosing between B and C
Option A uses the phrase most notably in reference to the steroids and there is no need to change that.
