E. Cézanne's work tends to be misinterpreted as modernist.
Most experts believe that Cézanne himself was a modernist; a few disagree.
But no one disputes the following: Cézanne's art inspired the next generation of...modernist creators of abstract art.
This statement supports answer choice C: Cézanne's work helped to develop modernism.

The correct answer is C.

B: Cezanne was an early creator of abstract art.
The passage states that Cezzane's art INSPIRED modernist creators of abstract art.
It does NOT state that Cezanne himself CREATED abstract art.
Eliminate B.
