As a physicist, astronomer, and professor, but with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian, the scientist educated the masses, challenged politicians, and debunked longstanding misconceptions, although many of his colleagues disagreed with his methodology.

A. As a physicist, astronomer, and professor, but with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian, the scientist educated the masses, challenged politicians, and debunked longstanding misconceptions, although ----This is the best of the lot.
B. A physicist, astronomer, and professor with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian, the scientist educated the masses, challenged politicians, debunked longstanding misconceptions and --the conjunction ' and 'misses the all-important tenor of the contrast. In addition, the list is unparallel without the 'and' before the last arm of the list.
C. A physicist, astronomer, professor with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian, and scientist educated the masses, challenged politicians, debunked longstanding misconceptions, and --- same as in B.
D. As a physicist, astronomer, professor – but with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian - and scientist, he educated the masses, challenged politicians, debunked longstanding misconceptions, although -- sentence fouls parallelism by missing the conjunction 'and' before the last item of the second list.
E. A physicist, an astronomer, and a professor with the showmanship of a Broadway star and the wit of a comedian, the scientists educated the masses, challenged politicians, and debunked longstanding misconceptions, although ----The plural 'scientists' may be a grammar error or a typo; the plural does not tally with the singular pronoun 'his' in the later part. In any case, 'with' is wrong since the prepositional modifier, as 'with' seems to modify the professor alone rather than physicist, astronomer, since it is not set off.

I believe it's D...i m not sure though
Band C could be eliminated coz 'Many of his colleagues disagreed with his methodology' is preceded by 'and' which is incorrect as the underlined and non underlined portion pose contrast features about both..so it sud be 'although'
E says there are different physicist,astronomer n professor because an article is prefixed before each each such profession
A IS INCORRECT coz 'As a ...'
This construction is correct coz as a physicist means the subject acted as/played the role of each mentioned profession...whch is impossible
So D.. and the subject here is 'he'
