Let's first take a different sentence, with either... or:
1. She felt that someone, either her family or her friends, would try to change her mind. ← The either X or Y provides the two examples of "someone" that she feels would try to change her mind.
Now, let's turn it into a negative:
2. She felt that no one, neither her family nor her friends, would try to change her mind. ← The meaning has changed, but the neither X nor Y is still defining the thing that precedes it (no one in this case).
Now, back to the question:
3. ... it is the X, not the A or B, that is more correctly termed...
The intention here is not to introduce examples of X. Instead, the intention is to introduce possible alternatives to X, and then say that it is X, not Y, that is termed something.

Please post options carefully (your option E is unfinished), and try to bullet them.
Some experts now believe that it is the duration of high unemployment rates, not the onset or cessation of such rates, that are more correctly termed a lagging economic indicator.
now believe that it is the duration of high unemployment rates, not the onset or cessation of such rates, that are more correctly termed - "it is" does not go with "that are". SV agreement is messed up
are now believing that it is the duration of high unemployment rates, not the onset or cessation of such rates, that is more correctly termed - "are now believing" is incorrect tense. This is also known as the "Indian trap", probably because we often speak in continuous tenses unnecessarily.
now believe that it is the duration of high unemployment rates, not the onset or cessation of such rates, that is more correctly termed to be - "termed to be" is unidiomatic for the same reason as "considered to be"
now believe that it is the duration of high unemployment rates, not the onset or cessation of such rates, that is more correctly termed - Seems legit
now believe that it is the - Incomplete option.
