2. Of the people who brought about the Reformation, the religious revolution that grew out of objections to the doctrines of the medieval church, Martin Luther is the best known of them.

(A) Martin Luther is the best known of them
(B) the best known is Martin Luther
(C) the better known of them was Martin
Luther
(D) Martin Luther is better known
(E) the best known one was Martin Luther

Please can some one help and explain why A is incorrect and b is correct. Option B it seems like a misplaced modifier

You can just take the junk from the middle of sentence out and see why B fits better than A.

Of the people, Martin Luther is the best
known of them.

VS.

Of the people, the best known is Martin Luther

This is not a case of misplaced modifier.
The modifier is the middle part of the sentence and the modifier modifies the word reformation.

As lilu suggested, remove the middle part of sentence and try to fix it.

"Of the people" is present in the first part, hence "of them" is redundant in A & C.

D changes the meaning because of "better"

In E "one" is redundant, since "best" is already used. Best can only be one of the lot.

B is the correct answer.
