觉得B比较好，用过去时的被动形式，表示一次性的动作。而且主谓明确。

while 表明此人在设计和建塔的同时,又开始做建设铁门的工作,强调设计建塔这一动作的持续,而答案B不明确塔是建好了还是没有,若建好了该是had done,正在建就是being,并且while当同时讲时引导的句子通常都是进行时,

这里考的是while的用法，刚开始我也选b,但是看了楼上的观点，我查了一下字典，感觉冯杨的说法有道理，倾向于C。

同意3楼的观点，呵呵

呵呵！我也来凑凑热闹！

我比较倾向于选C，前半句的逻辑主语应该是“Gustave Eiffel”，而不应该是“his famous tower ”，而且design 和build这个动作是主动的，所以选C。
