IMO A.

B - "Erasmus Montanus" doesn't have a verb here
C - Parallelism error. it should be "PredateS and resembles"
D - Changes the meaning. We need simple present tense here for a better meaning. Still "Erasmus Montanus" predates and resembles "Moliere's Tartuffe". Also, the un underlined portion is simple present.
E - Same as B. No verb for "Erasmus Montanus"

OA pls..
What we think, we become
