IMO D
A- out due to wordy and wrong "and for her rivaling Faustina Bordoni bitterly "
B- "extravagant lifestyle" is always better then "leading a lifestyle considered to be extravagant"
C- "exceptional voice" is better then "voice that was exceptional"
E - same as C(above)

What is the OA
Thanks and Regards,
Varun

IMO D.

these seem 500-600 level questions.
This question only tests parallelism. Francesca Cuzzoni was known for 3 things, and all have to be parallel.
