D could never be right because 'as if' is saying the X is not Y, it's as ifX is Y. In this case, the poor ARE legitimate subjects -- it's not a comparison. It's not as if they are, they simply are.

Option B.
This option suffers the same fate as option A.Therefore, incorrect.
Option C.
'as being' it makes the option too wordy thus the option is incorrect.
Option D.
'as if they were' this is an invalid statement here and does not need to be included since it is a consideration by a writer.
Option E. This is the correct answer as it correct explains the mind of the writer in a concise and simple way without being wordy.
