When we say, antagonizing each other, two people are in action. Smith alone doing it is improper modification So, we can eliminate A, B and D. C has a pronoun number problem in the second part. The subject of the second part is- they-. This plural subject does not gel with the singular - his.
So E. Incidentally --do his biochemical research undisturbed – is correct expression. Eg; he walks fast; not fastly; he sings well, not welly or goodly; he jumped high, not jumped highly; he went short in his positions, not he went shortly in his positions.

Ly ending words are generally adverbs ( ad verb le ad verb le le )but this not always. Some adverbs do ñot have ly ending
All adverbs do not end with lele. Usually we can add "manner" to it
Undisturbed manner

Although "-ly" is the general rule to derive adjectives into adverbs, there are other suffixes like "-ward", "-wise", "-fold" or "-most" that can be used when the meaning is different (indicating, direction, manner, quantity, etc.)
