)
B) the human mind is not "blank state" but instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed TO SOLVE
Same as A.
C) the human mind , INSTEAD OF A "blank state", it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that HAVE BEEN TO SOLVE

E ) RATHER THAN THE HUMAN MIND'S BEING A "blank state", THAT IS comprises specialized mental mechanisms that WERE DEVELOPED as a way of solving
Awkward construction.

All of them feel wrong. "But instead" does not seem correct, its redundant. RATHER implies preference and that is not the case here.
