I also choose E. Here is the difference between shorten and lessen:
Shorten: for anything that can be numerically measured or anything that can be physically abstracted.
lessen: for anything that can't be numerically measured and also for amounts of money.
because we're dealing with the number of days, which can be numerically measured in terms of number of days, "shorten" is appropriate.
