First split: The key for answering is to identify what the phrase after "and" should be parallel to!!.
First: It should be parallel to "the first book of poetry by a woman", not "Anthropology was published",
so "it was" is incorrect --> A,C out.
Second: it should include (by + noun) --> C,E out
Second split: "only the second" vs "the second one only"
although "only is redundant in "only the second", it still maintain correct meaning which means that Anne's work was the second to be published by a Puritan.
while "only" in "the second one only" is modifying "published", which means that no other poetry is published by Puritans after Anne's -->D,E out
Although the slight redundancy (as in woman in the colonies vs colonial woman),
B is still the best choice because it conveys the correct meaning.

(A) woman in the colonies and it was only the second published by a Puritan --> 'it was' puts the publishing context in past as if now the book is not the second published one. Since the book published will always be second, it cannot be in the past.
Also, by a woman.. and it was.. does not agree on parallelism.
(B) woman in the colonies and only the second published by a Puritan --> corrects the mistake by removing it was. Also maintains parallelism. Correct Option.
(C) colonial woman and it was only the second that a Puritan published --> colonial woman changes the meaning. Also same error as Option A.
(D) colonial woman and the second one only published by a Puritan --> Same error of colonial woman as in Option C.
(E) woman in the colonies and the second one only that a Puritan published --> placement of only makes this awkward. 'that a Puritan published' is passive. Active 'published by a puritan' is preferred.
PS - Kindly let me know if any of my explanation is not right.
