Is it just A) because it's the most succinct? I overthought this question and got it wrong... the original sentence on second view seemed pretty good.

Idiom :: known to? I thought it was known for. Like someone is known for ___ (getting good marks, etc), or a restaurant is known for it's so-and-so dish?

Thanks in advance!

A
B having is wrong
C seems awkward and wordy ..
D is awkward
E having been almost always wrong

Yes you rightly said uses the right idiom and is succint

Both idioms are used in English, 'known to' and 'known for'. It's:

Known to + verb, i.e. She is known to be the best seamstress.

Known for +noun, i.e. She is known for her delicious casseroles.
