a question based on a passage
In 1843 Augusta Ada King published an influential
set of notes describing Charles Babbage' s conception of
an "analytical engine"-the first design for an automatic
computer. King's notes, which included her program for
computing a series of figures called Bernoulli numbers,
established her importance in computer science, However,
her fascinating life and lineage (she was the daughter of
the flamboyant poet Lord Byron)-and her role as a
female pioneer in her field-have turned her into an
icon, She has inspired biographies, plays, novels, and
even a feature film, And whereas many women have
helped to advance computer science, only King has
had a computer language named after her: Ada,
9. The author of the passage would most likely disagree
with which of the following statements about Augusta
Ada King?
(A) Her family history plays no part in the fascination
she arouses.
(B) Her contributions to computer science were
markedly original.
(C) Interest in her has spread throughout popular
culture.
(D) She was well known in the field of computer
science long after she had completed her work.
(E) Her life was remarkable even apart from her
contributions to computer science.
the answer is A, I know A should be the answer, but what about D? I don't think it is right too.

Since there is a current computer language named after her, that would mean that she is still well-known, at least in the computer field. Not as well-known as Babbage, perhaps, but still known.
