Option E is alright. One may question the use of "copy" - "copy" is definitely not parallel to "resize", " lighten" and "collate" because it is in a different sentence (independent clause) altogether - "can" does not cover "copy". Moreover "copy" is not a verb parallel to "does". Then it would be "copies" in order to agree with the subject "The new Xerox machine". "Copy" here is a special kind of infinitive that is used WITHOUT "to". Thus the use of "copy" is alright. That said, I do not see any problem with A as well - using a gerund "copying" is equally valid as using infinitive "copy".

one more reason for D to be wrong is the ussage "functions have done more than copy simply" simply should be followed by copy not the other way round.
