A bit about copyrights first. The first sentence talks about how copyrights originated.
The second Sentence gives more information about copyrights. Their single significant purpose is to promote the circulation of ideas. And how did copyrights go about doing this? Authors are given financial rewards for ideas circulated.
Conclusion - The Copyrights sometimes go beyond their purpose, i.e they might be doing more than what's required. [EDIT] Keep an eye on the purpose part. We're looking for something that happens AFTER a Copyright is granted.
How? The right answer among the choices will present a proper reason.
(A) publication of copyrighted works is not the only way to circulate ideas. Out. Not concerned with how ideas are circulated. Need to know why the copyright plan isn't performing the way it's supposed to.
(B) authors are willing to circulate their works even without any financial reward. Out. [EDIT] Talks about a situation where authors don't need a financial benefit to write and ciruclate ideas. We're not concerned about that. Moreover, this is a situation before copyright is granted.
(C) authors are unable to find a publisher for their copyrighted work. Out. A problem that the authors face? hmm. Not what we're looking for.
(D) there is no practical way to enforce copyrights. Out. Sure, this might be a problem, but this is about a situation that comes before copyrights.
(E) copyrights hold for many years after an author’s death. Correct. [EDIT] This information supports the idea that copyright goes beyond providing an opportunity for an author to derive a financial reward for his own work (“after an author’s death”).

I am not so sure of B. If the author does not want copy right then he is free to do so. He is free to share his work for free.
What do you think of E being an answer.
