Hmm...what's the source? Seems a tad easy for an official GRE question. Usually, the clue won't be as obvious. That said, A) is a pretty good distractor for those who aren't reading carefully and who use "could be the answer" kind of reasoning. We need a word specifically producing a great number. One need not be famous to have created a large output. Therefore, we need a word that means creating a large body of work. D) prolific works perfectly.
