(The original text from an RC passage is longer and convoluted but error free. I have edited and shortened the sentence to suit GMAT practice)

Only C and E use 'do remain' to match with 'large gaps'.

Further, C's ' still mounting criticisms that' leaves the sentence incomplete.

Answer E's 'still there is mounting criticism that' makes the sentence complete.

Marked B first thinking does points to criticism. But seems like E as clearly do points to large "gaps"

Yes. E is indeed the correct choice. A small point but. The subject of the subordinate clause starting with that is a compound subject comprising gaps, inflation, and indulgence and hence a plural subject and not just because of gaps alone.

Good catch! Thanks!!

I thought there were 3 large gaps listed - didn't read this clause properly.

Yup E indeed. I read the answer choices wrongly - while making splits :(
