Isotopes in the recently excavated bones of a 14-year-old girl from the Jamestown archaeological site indicate she had eaten a high-protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, not a maidservant.

A she had eaten a high-protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, not a maidservant.

B that she ate a high protein diet, so probably had been the daughter of a gentleman, and not a maidservant.

C that she had eaten a high protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, and not a maidservant's.

D she ate a high-protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, and had not been a maidservant.

E she had eaten a high-protein diet, thereby had probably been the daughter of a gentleman, not a maidservant's.

my doubt : is it really wrong to say : "so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, and not a maidservant's."

daughter of a X, not a Y - correct idiom and option c doesn't meet this criteria.
IMO A
