honestly, it seems to me that option E is the correct answer. This is because when you use a comparative form such as "more", then "than" must eventually follow. It is not appropriate to use the construction "more.......rather than...." because you should avoid the "rather" and just stick to "more......than....." because it is considered idiomatic and concise.

Having said that, when you look at each of the answer choices:

a) we have "more......rather than...."----> so eliminate

b) we have "more," but then no "than" to follow.------>eliminate

c) same issue as option b.

d) we have "more.......rather than....."---->eliminate

e) we finally have the appropriate idiomatic expression, "more......than...." Although this answer choice may not contain the most attractive sentence, it maintains the proper grammatical rules. This option should be our answer.
