My answer is (C). It took me 47 seconds.
(A) "Not only" should be followed by "but also", not "as".
(B) In using "As much A as B", take care to make sure A and B are parallel. Option (B) does not.
(C) Option (C) does.
(D) "equally for ... as" is not idiomatic. Use "As much ... as".
(E) "Not..." should be paired with "but..."
Also, the meaning is distorted: many celebrities must have been lionized either by theatrical performances or by written works.
