With her archaeologist husband, travels inspired several mystery novels by Agatha Christie; travelers to Egypt can still stay at the Old Cataract Hotel, the model for the hotel in one of Christie's most famous books.

a) With her archaeologist husband, travels inspired several mystery novels by Agatha Christie

b) Agatha Christie used her travels with her archaeologist husband to inspire several mystery novels

c) Because her husband was an archaeologist, Agatha Christie was able to use their travels as inspiration for several of her mystery novels

d) Together with her archaeologist husband, Agatha Christie was inspired to incorporate their travel into several of her mystery novels

e) Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband served as inspiration for several of her mystery novels

Dear experts,

I have problem with all choices.
