Meaning is key to solve this question. If you just apply grammar rules, you may get trapped.
If you read the question carefully, there are two parts in a long sentence
(1) One complain about developed "care" robots is that they do not have capacity to listen or express emotion
(2) tricking patients to think those robots can listen or express emotion is unethical.
One complaint about recently developed “care” robots – robots designed to help care for elderly or sick patients in their home – is that they do not have the capacity for listening, expressing emotion, and tricking patients to think they can is unethical.
A) is that they do not have the capacity for listening, expressing emotion, and tricking patients to think they can is unethical
Wrong. A seems to convey that Robots do have capacity for listening, expressing emotion and tricking patients ==> The robots do not have capacity to trick patients? Does not make any sense!
B) is that they do not have the capacity to listen, to express emotion, and to trick patients to think they can is unethical
Wrong. Same error as in A. B seems to say that Robots do have capacity to listen, to express emotion and to trick patients ==> The robots do not have capacity to trick patients? Does not make any sense!
C) is that they do not have the capacity for listening or expressing emotion, and tricking patients to think they can is unethical
Wrong. Same error as in A. C seems to convey that Robots do have capacity for listening or expressing emotion and tricking patients ==>The robots do not have capacity to trick patients? Does not make any sense!
D) is that they do not have the capacity to listen or express emotion, and tricking patients to think they can is unethical
Correct. As explained above.
E) is that they do not have the capacity to listen or express emotion, and tricking patients that they are doing this is unethical[/quote]
Wrong. "this" refers to what? to listen or to express emotion or both? We don't know.
Hope it helps.

is that they do not have the capacity for listening, expressing emotion, and tricking patients to think they can is unethical
for listening is incorrect, we need to seperate it from the verb-tricking
is that they do not have the capacity to listen, to express emotion, and to trick patients to think they can is unethical
listen, express should be in the same form and trick should be in other form, as they are not pointing to the same thing.

Correct
is that they do not have the capacity to listen or express emotion, and tricking patients that they are doing this is unethical
incorrect meaning, it says that they are doing where as we are talking about the ability of the robots, that is why they can.
