NEED HELP PLZ TAKING A TEST I BEG U FOR MERCY

Read the excerpt from A State of War and Peace.

Upon his death in 1896, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, bequeathed the equivalent of $4.7 million (at the time of this publication) to create awards that would be his ultimate legacy. Every year the revered Nobel Prizes are given on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.

Which is the best paraphrase of this excerpt?

A.When Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel died in 1896, he left what would now be valued at $4.7 million to create the Nobel Prizes. It’s ironic that he’s associated with a prize for peace, since he was inventor of dynamite. Perhaps the name of the award, which is presented on December 10 each year, should be changed.
B.Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel died on December 10, 1896. He left a great deal of money behind to create the Nobel Prizes. Nobel will be most remembered for the prizes he established. The highly-respected awards are given out each and every year.
C.Upon his death in 1896, the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, bequeathed the equivalent of $4.7 million (at the time of this publication) to establish awards that would be his ultimate legacy. Every year the respected Nobel Prizes are given on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
D.When he died on December 10, 1896, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel left what would be currently be valued at $4.7 million to establish the Nobel Prizes. Nobel invented dynamite, but he will be most remembered for the prizes, which are presented each year on the anniversary of his death.

Step-by-step explanation:

To paraphrase is to reproduce the ideas of a text, giving it personal writing, that is, to express sentence or text, changing the words, or the order that the words appear without changing the meaning of the first version. Therefore your sentence should be more developed than the phrase presented as a topic, and the words should be different, not synonymous .

The letter D presents a reformulated text, with different words, but maintains the meaning of the original text. so we can say that the letter D is an example of paraphrase.
