Explanation-
Sentence Structure-
Many afflictions once thought to be X are now believed to be Y
In the original sentence- There are no errors, parallelism is maintained (to be X......to be Y)
Answer Choice Analysis-
A. now believed to be genetic in origin - This is the correct answer as explained above
B. now believed to have been genetic, originally- Parallelism error (to be X......to have been Y)
C. believed to be now genetic in origin- 'now' is incorrectly modifying genetic, instead of 'believed'
D. believed now that they have origins in genetics- Parallelism error
E. believed now to have had origins in genetics- Parallelism error

I couldn't find any error in MEANING in option B. Is there any ? I don't see any error to use "believed to have been genetic, originally" as people believe (today) that the afflictions were genetic in origin. Perhaps, A is more concise than B ?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
