Only B is correct.
need plural, "black americans". so only choices are A and B are close to the answer. "the three best novels ever have been written by "Black Americans, not by a single black american. A is awakward with "others being....".
B does not make sense to me. Only E makes the best comparison. What are we comparing here? The subject of comparison is actually Cane. B says that either Cane or Black Americans include other novels such as Native Son and Invisible Man, either of which is illogical.
This is wrong because we are instead making an enumeration of what those pieces of work are. If you read E properly, it first mentions Cane, and then says that the others(books) are X and Y.

It's a trap if you select E for llism.
I vote for 'B'
A - 'Black Americans—the others being Richard Wright....', changes the meaning. Seems to say Richard Wright is the name of the novel.
B - Correct meaning.
C,D - changes the meaning. Seems to say Richard Wright is the name of the novel.
E - Close but distorts the sentence.

I choose E for the following reasons:
one of three best novels ever written by a Black American
the three best novels ----> a group . If we use "including" , the three novels should be listed all together! However, since one of the three is mentioned before, we shouldn't use "including" ( with only two are listed) here.
