Broadway productions

Now even directors of off- Broadway productions, desperate for actors who are
talented, charismatic, and aspiring
more to a solid career in the theater than to the
lucrative rewards and stardom proffered by movie moguls and studios, are turning to
independent casting directors for guidance in assembling their casts.

A. are talented, charismatic, and aspiring
B. are talented, who have charisma, and who are aspiring
C. have talent and are charismatic and aspire
D. are talented and have charisma, and whose aspirations are
E. are talented and charismatic, and who aspire

The source is doubtful . A seems to be appropriate as well

E is correct.
and for parallelism.
the comma between two clause and the 'and' is properly used.
