Thomas Eakins’ powerful style and his choices of subject—the advances in modern surgery, the discipline of sport, the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves—was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.
A simple case of S-V agreement and tense form
(A) Was as disturbing to his own time as it is --- As it is -- both the pronoun and the verb are, wrong the subject is a compound subject X and Y.
(B) were as disturbing to his own time as they are --- correct choice.
(C) has been as disturbing in his own time as they are--- 'has been' S-V error
(D) had been as disturbing in his own time as it was -- -'It was' - both S-V and sub-pronoun error.
(E) have been as disturbing in his own time as ---Present perfect is wrong to denote something that happened in the past.

present perfect can be used to show a past action which no longer exists but there must be no point of time in this case.
because we have "to his time", an indication of past point of time, we have to use past simple
simple past and present perfect can be used interchangebly when there is no specific time point in the past

whenever we bigin to read the original choice, realize the time frame of the sentence. it is the tense of the main clause. doing so help us focus our mind on tense problem. make doing so a habit.
for this problem, we can easily focus our mind on tense problem easily. for other problem, we can not focus our mind on tense problem because there are many other errors. that is why we can not find the error while we can understand the explanation.
this is short sentence but it tests us most basic tenses of English, have done, did, and had done.
understand how present perfect work is key to understand how all other tenses work.
3 cases in which present perfect is used.
an action which began at a point in the past and continue to present
an action finished in the past but its time frame continue to present
an action finished in the past but its effect continue to present.
another error in choice e is that
for our own must parallel with to his time
for our own can not be parallel with in his time.
so , choice E contain two erros.
