the answer given is B, i also choose B, but the only reason make me give up and choose B is that: the subject of the sentence is First lady eleanor ....  which are the same as the two women apear in the choice B.  otherwise, i really don't know why to give up A.

這一題出自NYTimes
有一个背景可从新闻看出，此两位女性是当时男性政治世界的亟小数，所以不居功，都将功劳让罗斯福总统的智囊团。

Yet neither woman sought the spotlight or ever "cavorted" -- as Perkins
liked to say -- before the press. And both cautiously allowed others of
the Roosevelt brain trust to take credit for the genesis of historic
programs in public employment, relief and Social Security for which
they were in large measure responsible -- programs that fundamentally
changed the way we define government in this country.
