E
To perceive AS is idiomatic. So A anb B go out.
c. Regarded by publishing analysts as increased by international tensions during the Cold War, in the 1960s the spy novel ....
WRONG. Spy novel does not increase, sales do increase.
d. Reaching the zenith of its sales in the 1960s, the spy novel was regarded by publishing analysts as increased ....
The same mistake as in C
e. Regarded by publishing analysts as increased by international tensions during the Cold War, sales of the spy novel reached their zenith in the 1960s, when most Americans perceived the U.S.S.R. as

Adding to the explanation.. when modifies 1960, which is only in a,b, and e. since you have eliminated a and b due to "like vs as", you may move on to E.
answer E

the spy novel should follow the intro modifier
the adverbial time phrase should be somewhere else next to "when..."
