Hi morri3mg!
In considering all of the answer choices, including (C) and (E), it makes sense to note general features about her work. For example, we're told that "she became a designer of ornaments, furniture, interiors, and eventually homes" (lines 3-5). It's also useful to do what you and others did, which is to note the different types of materials that Gray used, like wood and steel. Even with that information in hand, however, one might not be able to eliminate many of the answer choices.
A problem with (C) is that we're not told much about the smaller objects that Gray made. The passage seems to suggests that some of her smaller works involved use of lacquer--for example, she made bowls that used lacquer and a wood surface. Based on that, though, (C) wouldn't be a very good fit. Though the passage indicates that she used steel, this was "to create furniture and environments," discussed later in the passage (line 38).
Answer choice (E), by contrast, fits the passage. It references metal, but importantly, it does so in the same way as the passage--it's referring to material she used to make furniture.
