Read the sentence as Scientists maintain that emotions..... evolved... to help animals survive.... and.......
Key decision to make should we choose procreate or to procreate....
To Procreate - the sentence would read as emotions evolved to help animals and to procreate.. Clearly wrong since emotions dont procreate, animals do so D and E are out...
Since scientists maintain "That" emotions, which are biological is parallel in structure to ,and that feelings, which are products.... C is the answer

Let’s remove all the modifiers and see what’s the core of the sentence-
Contemporary scientists maintain that (noun clause 1) emotions (noun) evolved (verb) in the nervous system and (noun clause 2) that feelings (noun) reflect (verb) the interpretation of emotions.
There’s a modifier that further describes emotions and a modifier that describes feelings. Now that we have the core in place, let’s look at the options, keeping the core in mind.
A quick vertical scan shows us the difference between procreate/ to procreate
Contemporary scientists maintain that (1) emotions evolved in the nervous system TO- help animals survive and procreate
Contemporary scientists maintain that (1) emotions evolved in the nervous system TO- help animals survive and to procreate
Emotions evolved to help and to procreate? Are emotions procreating or animals? The latter. Hence eliminate all options that use the infinitive form to procreate and distort the meaning of the sentence- Options D and E.
The second “that” is important to introduce the next noun clause- Sci maintains that emotions are… and that feelings are..- Eliminate option A.
Option C maintains the correct parallel structure to convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
Contemporary scientists maintain that (noun clause 1) emotions (noun) evolved (verb) in the nervous system and (noun clause 2) that feelings (noun) reflect (verb) the interpretation of emotions.
The elaborate form with the modifiers-
Contemporary scientists maintain that (noun clause 1) emotions (noun) , which are biological functions, (modifier) evolved (verb) in the nervous system and (noun clause 2) that feelings (noun) , which are products of the conscious mind, (modifier) reflect (verb) the interpretation of emotions.
Option C is correct.
