Answer:

(D) Clara Schumann has been a child prodigy, and she


Reason: Pro-Noun should be followed by Noun but not reverse

B is the answer. We need to notice we have "past" tense of "developed. So...A child prodigy should be either simultaneous or earlier fact on Clara. So...D is out. A and C...redundant. E...need to drop "being".
Looking for 780~
