Explanation
The construction "one of the" must be followed by a plural noun, since "one" is singled out from a group. "Well-known journalists" is the only plural noun phrase among the options. "Well-known journalist" and "journalist" are singular and violate the "one of the + plural noun" rule, and "well-renowned" is stylistically faulty (one is simply "renowned"). Hence option A.
