137. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

关于这道题，我的主要问题来自于C和D的比较，请各位弟兄帮忙看看！
首先，c，who和whose是两个平行的定语从句，必须有连词，所以中间加了一个but进行连接；但是,作者的主要含义应该是living和after death的比较，所以前面用了while的让步，可在gmat中，while/although/though和but在句子中只能出现一个，避免语意重复，所以我个人认为d中的结构，用and来平行三个who，同样也能表达出转折的含义，虽然省略了but；
不知道有没有兄弟姐妹能够帮忙解释一下！谢谢！

Dude, D 选项貌似时态太不平行。。。

As written, with who as the subject of goes and
regains, the last two descriptions illogically
continue to refer to the kind of composer.
Logically it must be the reputation that declines
after the composer’s death.

OG's explanation.

first，个人认为while不是让步，而是when的意思；second，declines in reputation 个人认为有点redundant；finally，regained时态也不对。
