I would be very happy if you give your opinions on this question

His career has left a legendary reputation in the west, ----- found full expression in Christopher Marlowe's play 'Tamburlane The Great'.

A) that B) which C)who D)where E) to which

I think the answer is A because it is not a "non-defining" one but the answer key of the book says the answer is B

I urgently need an answer Thanks for your concern
