I think its E. Although accounting for correctly modifies "united states citizens" I think.

A is out, sice it would be used if we were modifying "United States". But we are modifying "United states citizens".

You're right, it's E.
I didn't see the point that A and D don't match with citizens.
It's a nice explanation, thanks.
