support of v/s support from

by hemant_rajput » Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:12 am
Although it was once funded entirely by the government, the Victoria and Albert Museum was one of the first of Britain's national museums seeking support from corporations and private donors and to increase income by increasing attendance.

(A) one of the first of Britain's national museums seeking support from
(B) one of Britain's first national museums seeking support of
(C) among Britain's first national museums to seek support of
(D) among the first of Britain's national museums to seek support from
(E) among Britain's first national museums that have sought the support of

[spoiler]OA:D

I'm not sure but I think both support of and support from are correct idiom.[/spoiler] If that is the case then how to choose between two. Also what is the difference between [spoiler]"among Britain's first national museums" and "among the first of Britain's national museums "[/spoiler]
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

seeking .... and to increase...

So.. eliminate A and B.

We need to seek in the sentence.
Only C and D are left.

C changes the meaning :/
I will go with D
