D. As had J.D. Salinger, Thomas Pynchon's choice has been - illogical comparison, same reason as C
E. J.D. Salinger's choice, as Thomas Pynchon's, has been - illogical comparison

B, D and E incorrect because they compare someone with possesive

C incorrect because "AS" must be followed by verb (clause)
