lowered and decreased is redundant, We can Eliminate A and B.
C, can be eliminated because of plural verb reveal
Now the intent of the sentence is to say that the acceptance rates of top universities has decreased by at least 2%
Out of D and E,only D , matches that intent

IMHO (D) on this one, (E) seems a bit wordy !!!
