Baker was perhaps not the most gifted soloist in the orchestra, but the conductor felt what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by the passion with which he played the music.
(A) what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by
(B) what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by
(C) whatever was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by
(D) whatever he lacked in technical skill was more than made up for by
(E) whatever he lacked in technical skill he more than made up by

Please explain the options in detail.
OA after few explanations.

I would go for 'C' because 'he' in the answer choice 'B' is ambiguous.

Can we have the official answer please?

I am confused... another resource says....

https://gmatsentencecorrection.blogspot. ... chive.html

956). The answer given in 1000 SC's is wrong i.e B. The correct answer is D.
The phrasal verb - "to make up for" means to "compensate for".

Went for D but not sure why other options - B, C are wrong...
