B is wordy, hence A

(A) with what she saw as
(B) with that which she saw to be
(C) to that she saw being
(D) and that which she saw as
(E) and what she saw to be
"She" should refer to a person. However there is no noun by the name Frances Wright here. Isn't the question flawed in this sense?

I have seen other SC1000 questions in which the expression "In contrast to" is used (SC1000 - #372 for example). So, are both "in contrast with" and "in contrast to" correct ?

"Contrast" is used as a verb in this sentence, so the correct idiom is "contrasted x with y".
