感覺起來是D 比較能表達 "在設立就決定要收男女學生", 也簡潔有力 (最短 呵~)
C 有改變句意的意思

我認為C有兩種讀法：

Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution when it was founded in 1833 for its decision to accept both men and women as students.
當Oberlin College in Ohio在1833年成立時，Oberlin College in Ohio當時是為了收男女學生而設立的怪學校。


Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution when it was founded in 1833 for its decision to accept both men and women as students.
當Oberlin College in Ohio決定為了要收男女學生而將學校在1833年成立時，Oberlin College in Ohio在當時是間怪學校。

D把at its founding in 1833搬到後面就很清楚了：
Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution in deciding to accept both men and women as students at its founding in 1833.
in doing sth.= while doing sth.
當Oberlin College in Ohioy在1833年的草創時期決定收男女學生時，它在當時是間怪學校。
