(A) her being a woman
(B) being a woman is
(C) her womanhood
(D) that she was a woman
(E) that she is a woman

OA E

The way I read the question was ...

rose .... more .. landmark ... than ...

So, rose is being compared and the answer choice must be parallel. How is E parallel or I read it incorrectly?

Help!!
