Beginning in the mid 21st century, many consumers found that buying CFs such as TV dinners and visiting drive-through restaurants freed up their time for other things, with none of the restrictions of A and B or with the C and D. Wait, or means checking parallelism. Freed up time without A & B or freed up the time with the C, D & E where A & B are the pros and C,D & E are cons. So, usage is correct but with none of the structure is awkward and wordy. So, let's hold it.
A. with none of the restrictions of home cooking and precise recipes or with the - Hold it.
with none of the....., nor ..... - No two negative statements shall be used together. So, B and C out.
B. with none of the restrictions of home cooking and precise recipes, nor
C. without the restrictions of home cooking and precise recipes nor
D. without the restrictions of home cooking and precise recipes or with the - It's more elegant to use without the restrictions than with none of the restrictions. This option reserves the meaning regarding pros and cons. So, better option than A as there is no error and maintains parallelism.
E. without the restrictions of home cooking and precise recipes or the - Violates the meaning (by breaking parallelism) as per pros and cons or.
Imo. D
