The pair 'in X', takes 'in Y' as a parallel companion. Here the X is ' in its firsthand accounts' and the Y is 'in the eloquence and passion". One finds such prepositionally parallel phrases only in D. Therefore, D.

Is it safe to say that "was unprecedented" is simple past tense so " it exposed and criticized" should also be in simple past tense? Because only option D does that but I am not sure if that's the right approach.

night king,
Not that easily. After all,-- was unprecedented -- is passive voice verb while exposed and criticized are active verbs. Such a verb to verb parallelism will not work here, since the part after the conjunction 'and' is not an IC like in the other part. Exposed and criticized are merely the verbs of a relative clause.

It will be grammatically faulty.
