Mixed between C/D.

A/B - at its 1833 founding indicates as if there were other foundings as well - wrong
E - Decide on - idiom involves more than one option, which is not the case here.

Can't really decide between C and D :(
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

(C) when it was founded in 1833 for its decision to accept
(D) in deciding at its founding in 1833 to accept
(E) by deciding at its founding in 1833 on the acceptance of
A and C imply that Oberlin College was a renegade institution AT ITS FOUNDING (A) and WHEN IT WAS FOUNDED (C). The intended meaning of the sentence is that an action taken by Oberlin -- deciding...to accept both men and women -- CAUSED the school to be deemed a renegade institution. Eliminate A and C.

In B, the meaning conveyed by for THE decision...to accept is unclear. WHOSE decision? It needs to be crystal clear that it was OBERLIN's decision to accept both men and women.

In E, deciding...ON is an idiom to be avoided on the GMAT. Outside the GMAT, to decide on means to choose between options; no options are being discussed here. Eliminate E.

The correct answer is D.

Renegade means rebelliously unconventional. The intended meaning here is to explain IN WHAT WAY Oberlin was renegade. In taking a particular action -- deciding to accept both men and women as students -- Oberlin was rebelliously unconventional.
