Option A - a masterpiece describes mankind - wrong meaning
Option B & D - starts with publishing indicating that Gulliver's travels is publishing - Wrong meaning
Option C & E - starts with "published" thereby describing the book further. However option E states "to mock" which distorts the intended meaning of the sentence.
The book was "mocks" ...but "not intended to mock"
IMO C

C.
A sentence fragmented by lots of modifiers.
Comparing the first words, the split is published vs publishing. Since the event happened in 1725, eliminate publishing. B and D can be eliminated.
In A, all mankind is modified by the next phrase, a masterpiece by JS. However a masterpiece should refer to GT not to all mankind.
In E, published to mock changes the meaning by suggesting that it was published with the explicit intention to mock. Also, in E there is one comma after GT and the next comma appears only after mankind, thereby making this entire chunk from published .... to mankind one big modifier. If we remove that big modifier, E reads GT... an Irish author. This does not make sense.
