In the light of the passage, option D) 'her views no longer seem as revolutionary as they once did' is the most appropriate option here.
It is mentioned in the passage that 'She has been a communist but then moved on from a belief in simplistic political solutions to interest in deeper psychological change, touching on themes of madness and of mystical and extrasensory states of consciousness' also mentioned is the fact that she was once considered very daring and very militant', which implies that her views no longer seem as revolutionary as they once did.
Therefore option D is the correct answer, whereas other options are not relevant to the context.
