The late nineteenth century brought the impressionist movement, which saw artists experimenting with color, moving from the studio to the outdoors, and initially endured heavy criticism from the public.

a) endured
b) it endured
c) enduring
d) would endure
e) it had endured

OA: C

The answer is pretty straight forward as soon as you know the noun it refers to. I was misled because I thought: The late nineteenth century brought the movement and initially endured heavy criticism from the public.
I am no natvie speaker, but can't the movement get criticism from the public?

I'd say so, for example the "movement" in northern Africa right now could get criticized by some people.

if you carefully read the sentence which you wrote "The late nineteenth century brought the movement and initially endured heavy criticism from the public." then acc to your sentence it seems that "it's late nineteenth century which endured criticism from the public" which is awkward...................

[...] which saw artists experimenting with color, [artists] moving from the studio to the outdoors and [artists] initially enduring heavy criticism from the public.

You have to ask:

1. Who experimented? The artists and not the movement
2. Who moved outside? The artists and not the movement
3. Therefore, this last part has to refer to artists as well.

In the end, you get three parallel clauses.

Cheers

Nice question. I see AND which is a parallel marker. So, I first checked whether there is any parallelism in the sentence.
Now there is a parallelism,
experimenting with color, moving from the studio to the outdoors, and
so, the next verb must be parallel with other two = hence, enduring

Here the parallelism is on verb modifiers.

Also, as aspirant2011 mentioned, subject here is, late nineteenth century which cannot endure.

There is no reason it can't be the movement getting criticism EXCEPT that you would need an and before moving -- the and would mark the end of that list of parallel things and return us to the next level "up" in the sentence, parallelism with brought.

C - enduring needs to be parallel
