Explanation from the author
Creating a filter: the original question contains a comparison. To examine this comparison more closely, we can ignore the first portion of the sentence; then we have, "In no case were they as well studied as..." Logically, the construction is like, "X was as well studied as Y," where X equals "in no case." Y could equal something like, "in this case," "in every other case," or "in the 1920s," but it must start with the preposition "in" to be parallel.
Applying the filter: The correct answer is (C).

Hello!
Option A uses 'was their emergence' which is not correct.
Option B uses the word 'had', it does not go well with the sentence in terms of the usage.
Option D uses 'was' at the end; there is no need of using that word.
Option E is fine to an extent, but fails to use the right preposition 'in', so eliminate that as well.
Option C correctly uses the preposition and has no errors.
Official Answer:- Option C
Thank you!
