(A) one's own work, always one's own work: not thinking about it, not assessing it, but simply doing it - Parallel and STRESSING
(B) always work; because you don't think about it or assess it, you just do it
(C) always one's own work: not thinking about or assessing it, but simply to do it - not parallel
(D) not to think or assess, but doing one's own work - awkward
(E) neither to think about one's own work nor to assess it, it is always simply doing it

IMO: A
