Picking C.
A and B are out b'coz of "have".
In the non-underlined part, the list of examples is not finite. Hence "and so on" is appropriate.
However in the underlined part, we have three finite examples hence : X,Y or Z. "or" is better suited here.
Edited---> On second thoughts, I think that the comma before "and" in D and E also makes C a better choice.

Picking D here. I think its appropriate to use "of" instead of for because we are stating an opinion about a book.
A was wrong because it uses have been in the second clause, it should has as we need a singular. Out of all the choices, D seems the most parallel

We may say of("OF" used for non living,"FOR" used with living), for example, that it has been very much praised, very much criticized, very much applauded, and so on, but not that it has been very praised, very criticized, and (||ism) very applauded.

I know that you are waiting for input from our SC experts, same here
I am still sticking with the reasoning for usage of "of".
I had earlier picked D, but now changing my answer choice to C. The only difference between C and D was with the usage of "or" in C and usage of "and" in D
It is a parallelism question, "and so on" is used in the question as we use "etc" for more in the list.
Another thing for the second part I realised was that a book cannot be criticized and applauded the same time. So "or" is a better choice than "and"

I am with E here
A and B clearly can't be the answers
I think the message plays a role here:
we say very X AND not X we say very X BUT not Y I think this is the key... BUT shows contrast and we aren't talking about opposites... we are talking about emphasis.
(C) of a book, for example, that it has been very much praised, very much criticized, very much applauded, and so on, but not that it has been very praised, very criticized, OR NOT PARALLEL and USES "BUT": That very X, very Y, very Z, and so on....BUT NOT That X, Y,OR[/b] Z
(D) of a book, for example, that it has been very much praised, very
much criticized, very much applauded, and so on, but not that it has been
very praised, very criticized, and
"BUT" is used to show the contrast... and that's not what we're trying to do... they use exactly the same words adding "VERY" to each in the 1st part...
(E) of a book, for example, that it has been very much praised, very
much criticized, very much applauded, and so on, and not that it has been very praised, very criticized, and
this is a statement... We say of a book that it is very X, very Y, very Z, and not that it is X, Y and Z

C) of a book, for example, that it has been very much praised, very much criticized, very much applauded, and so on, but not that it has been very praised, very criticized, or
Only D/C are the narrow choices.
The "and so on" implies multiple qualifications for the book, all of which may be true at the same time.
The sentence uses only three such qualifications to indicate an example, so it needs OR.
