(D) and (E)

Curious about question (D) - is this not the right answer because it discusses "influences", whereas the question discusses something being "received and interpreted"? I understand how to get to answer (E), but just wanted to make sure I'm ruling out (D) for the right reason. Thanks!

@hannah93092 D in this case is talking about how the work is influenced, not who it influences - it flips around the prompt. The prompt gives us guidelines on how the work should be received and interpreted, not how the author of the work was influenced.
