B - Although he is as gifted, if not more gifted, than many of his colleagues, he is extremely modest and with his poetry remaining unpublished. - uses incomplete idiom
D - Despite his being gifted, if not more gifted than his colleagues, he is extremely modest and will not publish his poetry. - awkward construction
E - Being a gifted as, or more gifted than, many of his colleagues, he is extremely modest and his poetry is unpublished. - changes meaning & awkward construction

I think you are confused b/w A & C because both of them are same except for last few words. The reason why C is better than A is C describes that since he is modest he will not publish his poetry. A does not provide that causal relationship. A independently states that his poetry is unpublished
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)
