1. the action is continued from past. So correct choice shoild have 'have seen'. A and B wrong.
2. D uses 'it' to refer employees. Wrong.
3. Among C and E,
E changes the meaning a little by using present continuous tense, where we need simple present tense.
So C is right.

For years, employees had seen what they pay toward health care increases as companies ask them to contribute more for premiums and deductibles
A. had seen what they pay toward health care increases as companies ask them to contribute more for premiums and deductibles
B. saw what they pay toward health care increased as companies ask them to contribute more to premiums and deductibles
C. have seen what they pay toward health care increase as companies ask them to contribute more to premiums and deductibles
D. have been seeing what they pay toward health care increases as companies asks it to contribute more to premiums and deductibles
E. have seen what they pay toward health care increasing as companies are asking them to contribute more to premiums and deductibles
Well this makes a general assertion and the opening words For years signify continuing action. Eliminate A and B. In D seeing is wrong. In E increasing makes the sentence awkward. C wins.
