hmm.. I think you're right..
I didn't bother to read E (note to self: can't be in such a rush during test day)

E
"which" incorrectly refers to "authenticity"- A and B out.
E for parallelism - to watch, compare and view.

[+ to infinitive] Mom sent me off with a final reminder to be back before 11pm.
