Neither..nor VS Not...or???

A study of children of divorced parents found that 10 years after the parents' divorce, children who had been under six years of age at the time of the settlement were not preoccupied, nor even very curious, about the reasons that led to their parents' divorce.
(a)
(b) Not preoccupied with, or even very curious about, the reasons for their parents' divorce
(c)Neither preoccupied, nor even curious, with the reasons that led to their parents divorce
(d)Neither preoccupied with the reasons that led to their parents' divorces or even very curious about them
(e) Neither preoccupied with the reasons that their parents divorced nor even curious about it

The answer is (b); if it wasn;t for the "with" in (c), wouldn't it be correct as well- "neither...nor"?
when do you use "not...or" and "neither...nor"?

(i'm not 100% about the source- i saw it on the internet somewhere but it stated that the question was a prep question..sorry!)

Neither X, nor Y is IDIOM, however not..or is also correct. And there is no such rule as to use IDIOM choices only. If option can convey the correct and intented meaning then, it can true.

Here is what my elimination to reach IMO as B.

(a)not preoccupied, nor even very curious, about the reasons that led to their parents' divorce.-->not..nor destroys the meaning. Hence INCORRECT
(b) Not preoccupied with, or even very curious about, the reasons for their parents' divorce -->No mistake. another Idiom is "curious about". CORRECT
(c)Neither preoccupied, nor even curious, with the reasons that led to their parents divorce-->'nor even curious' is followed by ,with. Hence INCORRECT
(d)Neither preoccupied with the reasons that led to their parents' divorces or even very curious about them-->Neither..or is used instead of Neither..nor
(e) Neither preoccupied with the reasons that their parents divorced nor even curious about it-->S-V error for 'it'
