A. of less than 65 percent and fewer ---> Correct
B. lower than 65 percent and less ---> "less" cannot be used with "subscribers"
C. lesser than 65 percent and fewer ---> "lesser" is wrong
D. fewer than 65 percent and less ---> "fewer" and "less" should change place
E. of fewer than 65 percent and fewer ---> first "fewer" is wrong

lesser isn't necessarily always wrong...
Less suggests amount; lesser suggests degree. In this case less is appropriate.
