D. had been as inspirational to his fellow citizens as it was - Same as A

“writing style and enduring themes” needs plural verb and pronoun. Eliminate A(was), C(has been), D(it was).
E is wrong because present perfect “have been” illogically means that “his fellow citizens” are still inspired now.
So B is correct answer.
E is wrong because present perfect “have been” illogically means that “his fellow citizens” are still inspired now.
So B is correct answer.
