OG12-52 请教NN

52. To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it
was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained
in France during the Second World War as a performer
and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long
before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was
fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her
home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long
before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an
expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris
her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an
expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,

这题答案是D，可我觉得C也貌似对，OG给的解释是C中倒置了 it was fashionable to be an
expatriate，可是我认为D中的it不正是只to be an expatriate么？这么说C还更简洁呀？？？？？

请NN指教.
