William Shakespeare, though long considered as being one of the finest writers in English or any other language, was the subject of speculation over the years that he was not the real author of works attributed by him.

this considered idiom is very confusing:

Right
considered XY
considered x to be y
considered x as y

Wrong
considered to
considered as

As per OG-10 for similar questions when in sentence "consider" mean "regarded as"...then consider is not followed by any "to be" or "as". So only option that is left is "d".

IMO Easier is just replace "considered" with "regarded as"...and "d" works.

IMO "attributed to" is correct idiom.
