We definitely need 'for' here. Remembered for is the right usage in this case.

Since we are providing examples -- we need 'such' here.

Option B looks correct.

One example I can think of -- Don Bradman is remembered for his near perfect style of batting.

+1 for B. "Remembered for" is the right idiom.

What is the OA?

Thanks.

+1 for B.

"that for" in D seems too wordy.

3 problems in the question which b corrects
1)Remembered for is the correct idiom
2)an example is given so "such as" should be used
3)G.museum is not a design."such as the one...." compares to the design for G. Museum
