Looks like E.
Two reasons cited
1) a 50-percent decrease in the population of some cities
2) a 50-percent decrease in the median income throughout the region
land-use planning institute is singular and therefore "it calls"

soomodh, What happens if I modify the sentence as shown below (eliminate the phrase: marked by a 50-percent.....region)? Will your answer change to (C)?
A land-use planning institute in the Great Plains cites sharp declines in population and prosperity [marked by a 50-percent decrease in the population of some cities and by an equivalent decrease in the median income throughout the region,] as major reasons to set aside the area they call the Plains Commons reserve.
