two actions in past we need to differ them in seq hence use past perfect is require here

1)Although he resisted the assignment, T. E. Lawrence, later known as Lawrence of Arabia, successfully led an Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire.
resited and led occuered at diff point of time

correct

3)Although he resisted the assignment, T. E. Lawrence, later known as Lawrence of Arabia, had successfully led an Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire.
incorrect verb sequence

4)Although he had resisted the assignment, Lawrence of Arabia, who successfully led an Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire, was earlier known as T. E. Lawrence.
modifier error

gmatnmein2010, most users on the forum have repeatedly asked you to underline the questions before you post them into the forum. I have noticed that you dont pay heed to those requests. If you dont change your posting methods, i regret to inform that your posts may be in effect be deleted!

Assuming that the whole sentence is underline as it is repeated in option 1.
4 and 5 are confusing.
Of 1, 2 and 3 if more than one event has taken place in the past, Past Perfect tense is to be used for the first event and simple past for the later. Hints from MGMAT.

He had resisted the assingnment Past Perfect
successfully led Simple Past

so IMO B.
