Noticeable points: The sentence "The Famous Actor" needs a verb for completion. In the original sentence, the verb is missing.

{A} Verb missing; INCORRECT
{B} We should use perfect tenses when we are reporting two past actions; INCORRECT
{C} KEEP
{D} Verb Missing; INCORRECT
{E} Adverb should not be introduced in between. INCORRECT

{C}

both X and Y must serve to connect PARALLEL FORMS.
A: both BY and THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Here, by (preposition) and the general public (noun) are not parallel forms.
B: both THE CRITICS and BY
Here, the critics (noun) and by (preposition) are not parallel forms.
Eliminate A and B.

C, D and E: extremely graphic violence scenes
Here, it is unclear whether graphic serves to modify the entire phrase violence scenes (conveying that the SCENES were graphic) or just the noun violence (conveying that the VIOLENCE was graphic).
Eliminate C, D and E.

None of the answer choices is viable.
I would ignore this SC.
