OPTION A - INCORRECT
We need to be very conscious of verb agreement in answering this question. "Each" which introduces this option cannot agree with "have" rather a singular auxiliary verb should have been used.
OPTION B - INCORRECT
"Each a" makes this instantly wrong. If "a" typo, we can also knock this out because the movie titles are not properly set off from the rest of the sentence. It also gets rid of the ''at least'' information featured in all the other answer choices.
OPTION C - INCORRECT
"Two or more than two"... This illogical phrase changes the meaning of the sentence, thereby making it sending a different understanding. Definitely, out of point.
OPTION D - INCORRECT
Recall that the verb has to agree with its subject.
"The three movies... has"; this does not agree and does not follow parallelism. The subject should attract a plural auxiliary verb rather than the singular auxiliary verb "has", that it contains.
OPTION E - CORRECT
Here, we have a perfect subject-verb construction. Because there is a correct usage of "all three... have each" this connects the verb to the main subject and follows due parallelism.
