I am not sure at all Rabab36.
Despite is a preposition so we cannot use it with a clause. Hence (B) is certainly wrong.
"he was considered one of the greatest playwrights of his time" doesn't really make sense to me because I would expect "he is considered one of the greatest playwrights of his time." Otherwise, it seems that, say, 10 years ago he was considered one of the greatest playwrights of the 18th century but now he is not. Usually that doesn't happen.
Something like "he was considered one of the greatest playwrights during his time" would make sense since we would be talking about his time in the past. Today whether he is considered a great playwright, we don't know.
Also, the survival of his works would be questionable only after his death so I don't understand the use of past perfect. There is no action or point of time mentioned in the past after the survival became questionable. If we assume that most of his works were lost while he was alive, then option (E) makes sense but I would struggle to arrive at this meaning.
The question maker would need to tell us what we are missing.
