D.
contributed + infinitive
contributed to increase

C,D left

I guess D is prefereble as we use Present Participle (reducing) for cause-and-effect relationship.

C and D are out as both would not join up well with the non-underlined part of the passage

B is awkward with 'significant integration increases'

E uses the plural 'reduce' inappropriately

A is the best choice.

the use of 'significant' here merely serves to emphasize the proportion of the 'increase'. It's not just any ordinary increment, but a significant one.

I guess the correct usage is contribute + to + noun.

Thus, I pick (A).

A is not a case of split infinitive becasue increases is not a verb but a noun and the noun is modified by adjective significantly.

And A is correct.

IMO A is correct.

B - misplaced word order.
C- error in reference-which
D- in turn reducing
E- need adjective instead of adverb.
