C. not only an examination of how difficult it is to reconcile reason, will, and passion in any art form, and

托马斯曼的小说“浮士德博士”不仅考察了在任何艺术形式中将理性，意志和激情融合在一起有多么困难，而且还对现代主义的主要关注点进行了巧妙的探索。
Not only.....but also的平行，but also后面跟了名词，修饰的是托马斯曼的小说
A选项Not only后面是of和but also后面不能构成严谨的平行关系
B，C选项变成了and also这是不正确的
D,E选项Not only.....but also的平行没有问题，比较选项差异之后发现，一个是difficulty with一个是difficulty of。 difficulty with中的with表示的方式，of表示的是所属的关系，这块表示的是理性，意志和激情融合在一起的困难，所以这里的of要比with好。
答案：E
