According to Italy's top anti-Mafia prosecutor, the ailing mobster came to take refuge in Corleone, a town famous because of the "The Godfather" and near to those he most trusted.

A)the ailing mobster came to take refuge in Corleone, a town famous because of "The Godfather" and near to those he most trusted
B)famous because of "The Godfather," the ailing mobster came to take refuge in Corleone, a town near to those he most trusted
C)the ailing mobster, famous because of "The Godfather," came to take refuge in Corleone, a town near to those he most trusted
D)near to those he most trusted, the ailing mobster came to take refuge in Corleone, a town famous because of "The Godfather"
E)Corleone, famous because of "The Godfather," was the town that the ailing mobster came to take refuge in because it was near to those he most trusted

Doubt:Specific to C , why one cannot think that the mobster was famous because of the "The Godfather," ? May be the movie made the mobster famous himself .

OA A

I was down to A or E. In E, it seems to refer to the Mobster. It should rather refer to the town.
So answer is A
