IMO D

There are following issues here: parallelism, logic of the sentence and idioms

1) parallelism
The word "and" connects two sentences, which must be parallel.
A: "To Henry David Thoreau..., and he" is not parallel
B: "For Henry David Thoreau..., and he" is not parallel
E: "... to Henry David Thoreau, and he" is not parallel
We should eliminate answer choices A, B & E

2) logic of the sentence
There is wrong order of words in answer C.

3) idiom
correct idioms are
"ideal for sb/sth"
"ideal to do sth"
For example:
"open fields are ideal for children"
"It is not ideal to have a foreign army here"

I choose answer D

I don't think D can be correct because of the modifier issue. I hope that C is correct here.

The consensus (choice D) is correct for the various reasons given.
Glad there was no ambiguity over the credited response.
