Nineteenth-century authors often included encyclopedic information in their novels; Melville's famous chapter of the physiology on whales, contained as it is in his masterwork Moby-Dick, serves as a perfect example of this phenomenon.

My answer is (C). It took me 36 seconds.
Let's jump to (C). Is the meaning clear? Yes.
And (C) is the shortest. Enough to choose (C) and move on.
(A) The purpose of "as it is" is opaque. "as" is typically used in comparison, but there is no need for comparison.
(B) See above. "within" is probably worse than "in".
(D) Either "found in" or "contained in" suffices. "found contained in" is redundant.
(E) See above. The additional "being" is extraneous.

A. contained as it is in
"it" is referring back to " Melville's famous chapter of the physiology on whales". so now let's put it in the sentence
Melville's famous chapter of the physiology on whales, contained as Melville's famous chapter of the physiology on whales is in his masterwork Moby-Dick, serves as a perfect example of this phenomenon.
well,that made some epic mess like harry Maguire does when defending the ball
B. contained as it is within
same as A
C. contained in
sounds good
D. found contained in
found and contained convey almost the same meaning. redundant to use both
E. being found contained in
same as D ,now with another error "being"
IMO C
