more varied account services can't be compared with thrift institutions.. Don't think A fits the bill.
B for me.

A,C-> Wrong comparison
D -> more X than Y is the correct idiom
Between B and E, go with E
E completed means that
X could offer more services than Y could (offer)

B should be read as :
banks could offer more varied account services than thrift institutions COULD
without the COULD the statement would wrongly end up comparing: account services and thrify institutions.
