A is wrong because it should be "with the others." B is wrong because "each" refers to each play as a singular entity and there is no "one another" within such a singular entity. C is wrong because it takes a group of three and refers to "the others"--but within this category no play is an "other." E is wrong because "each with the other" is not the correct form for referring to relationships among members of one group: that would be "with one another," as we see in D.

The three plays in Preston Jones’s “A Texas Trilogy” are completely independent, and each has only a peripheral relationship with the other.
(A) independent, and each has only a peripheral relationship with the other
(B) independent, and each has only a peripheral relationship one with another
(C) independent, and they have only a peripheral relationship with the others
(D) independent and have only a peripheral relationship with one another
(E) independent and have only a peripheral relationship each with the other
OK. Since we are talking about three plays, and three particular plays at that, we have to locate an option that leaves no ambiguity, and also removes the grammatical errors seen.
A: incorrect; three plays, and have only peripheral relationship with 'other'!!
B: Incorrect. The use of another means that each of the play has only a peripheral relationship with 'one other' play. Doesn't specify its relationship with the third play.
C: 'with the others' could mean any of the millions of plays written till now by all the playwrights.
D: Bingo! We use one-another to refer to more than two persons/ objects. So, each play is unique, and has only a peripheral relationship with the other two.
E: 'With the other' implies there are only two sentences involved.
Hope it helps. Cheers!

What if the original sentence is structured "independent, and have only a peripheral relationship with each other ". Is it still wrong?
