答案是A，我选的E，感觉比A简洁。没有完全理解句子的意思，请NN把句子意思和逻辑分析下！

问题：in the hands of什么意思啊？

            谢谢啦！

Cut-paper design was a popular game for Colonial women, but in the hands of the Heroine, it became an art.  (so it goes far beyond jsut a game in that heroine's hand)

A vs E is like

Basketball became a magic in the hands of Michael Jordan. vs Basketball became a magic for Michael Jordan

It was Michael Jordan who made basketball become a magic, not basketball itself became a magic for him so we should use "in the hands of"

Hope that helps =P
