Brief Explanations:

The original sentence has a dangling modifier. The phrase "Writing to soothe his dark and troubled soul" should logically modify the subject. In the original, the subject is "Edgar Allan Poe", which makes sense as he is the one doing the writing. Option B changes the subject to "The Raven" which can't "write". Option C has an awkward structure. Option D also changes the subject and distorts the meaning.
