I'll go with Actual sentence only because nothing suits here and even I don;t like the sentence itself. A what's the source?

Interesting. E says - influence practitioners of genres that are as varied as are painting, video, and photography ----> change of meaning. This is comparing practitioners with painting, video etc which is nonsensical.

I dont think 'are', 'those' & 'are', are incorrect because 'Painting' is singular. can experts please comment on this sentence's options ?

Examples of genres are painting, video, and photography painter is compared with artist. thats logical. B is subtle change of meaning - (B) as varied as are ----> "are" is fatal. B compares practitioners with painting, video etc which is nonsensical. A it is.

IMO A. examples given are of genres. So it has to be 'as varied as'.
