i think "men" doesn't mean "male" here, it means human as a whole.

C sounds weird to me

C for me
A - Wrong - from thinking it simply private property - grammatically incorrect
B - Starts with have been changes, but refers to as a change
C - Change is the main subject here. with an inherent public interest transcending the individual owner’s prerogatives. referring to Change accurately
D - It refers to private property
E - Concise and very tempting but considering the clause "with...prerogatives" land cannot be the subject. Distorts the meaning of the sentence.

In A,B & C doesn't the sentence after the comma "a change from thinking" seems to describe land?

I'll thus discard A,B,C.
E is concise, thus I'll pick it over D.

E. Once thought of simply as private property, land is now considered


PB, we do not need MEN here because nobody thought other than an that land is considered as .......
so all except E are incorrect.

E...

there doesn't seem to be the need to use "men"...

Besides, as others have said, E seems to be the most precise.
