I have an issue regarding this question and I would love your insights about this. It is easy to eliminate options A, B, and C. In options D and E, I eliminated option D because it feels like the author is talking about specific people here who are interested in watching thrillers and dramas. But in the original sentence, the author is talking about people's general interest in documentaries and dramas & thrillers. So in the end, I was left with option E and opted for that.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I used this exact reasoning as well.

Hey, eliminated D because it is converting the comparison (unlike Thriller and Drama) to an unimportant modifier by bringing it between commas whereas E is retaining that information properly. Can you please help me in explaining why D is superior than E? and why E is wrong?

Thanks:)
