C

I can't explain it from the grammar point of view, however, E would have posed serious problem if the statment were "Leon Forrest's work resembles more that of"...

Option C . A and D compare Leon with other writers' works.I think B and E are idiomatically wrong.

IMO C

If i look at Op C i get

Work is reminiscent(Adjective) of narratives and languages--->clear and meaningful

Op E

I think, use of THAT OF refers to work, so the sentence would mean in that case

Work more resembles(verb) work(that) of narratives and languages----> don't feel meaningful

Moreover, The word "MORE RESEMBLE" seems to me suspicious...just like we can not say "MORE DEAD"...same think applies for ""MORE RESEMBLE"" i guess...hence Op C
