You are definitely down to the two most attractive answers.
The second paragraph goes into some detail about how Thoreau used civil disobedience in reform of the individual, rather than for society, or social change.
King used civil disobedience for social change while Thoreau did it for individual benefit.
This makes (C) an unattractive answer at this point. We would not say that Thoreau's work provided him a model for using passive resistance to effect social change.
(E) is something that is supported by the passage. The author, in the first passage, states that this influence of Thoreau's work towards King's philosophy is overemphasized. So we have support that there was an influence on King's philosophy.
