1884 - Unknown Writer
1884 to 1887 - Won the Pushkin Prize
After Anton Chekhov's death he earned the posthumous reputation as one of the greatest short story writers and dramatists of all time.
Thus we may claim that the even of eining the Pushkin Prize changed the life of Anton Chekhov....
We have a clear picture which event preceeds the other in the sentence and as the MGMAT SC teaches us , use past perfect only to show the occurence of one event in the past before another event in the past.
Clearly winining the Pushkin Prize precceeds earning the reputation " as one of the greatest short story writers and dramatists of all time. " so , we use had won.
Quote:
Means Anton Chekhov carried on his good woork and thus earned the reputation as a great writer.
Option (C) " had gone on to have " - Not only changes the meaning of the sentence ( Referring to going to a place to earn the reputation) , but also is gramatically and logically incorrect.
Hence we can eliminate option (C)

In 1884 +3Years requires "had won" so we can discard B and E
The final part of the sentence decribes Anton, not is work, so we require a pronoun "he" to distinguish between "Short stories" and Anton, so we can discard A, B and E
