Official Explanation

The first part of the sentence sets up a comparison through the use of “as . . . as,” and the original as well as (B) and (E) fail to carry it out.

The “be true of ” part of the sentence in (C) is not needed since it is implied in the “as . . . as” construction by the fact that DuBois’s work was a fundamental challenge.

The correct answer is (D).

you are right, but future scenarios with respect to past events.

Example: He learned about stock market so that he would earn through investments made in the future.

This is the same situation applies in this case.
