Out of D and E,,
the verb in E makes sense..

To answer this question, look at non underlined part 'less' :-A study published in the British Medical Journal showed that women who ate nuts more than five times a week were about one third less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease
Less than is idiom : so between D and E
E is better since women who ate nuts less than women who ate (will be right comparison)
Hope this helps:)

This is a comparison question and here we have used more. More is used with than and hence options A,B and C go out. Option D is incorrect because it does not maintain parallelism. Women who ate not|| to women eating and hence ruled out.
Option E maintains parallelism and also uses the correct idiom and hence is correct.

a) as those who ate - Incorrect
b) as women who ate - Incorrect
c) as those eating - Incorrect
d) than women eating - Incorrect
e)than were those who ate - Lets look further

Henc IMO (E) due to correct idiom less X than Y and Parallalism.... _________________
