The answer is C.

But I love the idea of riding on a scrap of paper!

IMO D
the reason:
in C, "while riding to Gettysburg" is ambiguous, because this phrase comes after "on a scrap of paper" and as if it refers to "paper": paper was riding to Gettysburg when Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address;
it would be OK, if it were written as: "while riding to Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln..."
---
however, in D "he" in "while he rode..." is referring unambiguously to Abraham L.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
