According to a recent report, glassworks constructed in the last twenty years had one-third the likelihood that they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels as glassworks built earlier.

A. had one-third the likelihood that they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels --- Had one third the likelihood is unidiomatic In addition, the comparison has gone awry. We must compare what the glassworks constructed in the past 20 years had ( meaning possessed, simple past ) with what the glassworks built earlier had.
“As glassworks built earlier” lacks a verb and is incorrect. It looks as if the recent works are acting the role of the earlier works
B. had one-third the likelihood of producing noise levels above 100 decibels--- the same problem as in A.
C. were one-third less likely to be producing noise levels above 100 decibels—‘less’ entails a ‘than’. The comparator is absent.
D. were one-third as likely that they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels –‘as likely that they would produce’ – is unidiomatic
E. were one-third as likely to produce noise levels above 100 decibels --- The best of the lot and the answer.

According to a recent report,
glassworks (constructed in the last twenty years) had one-third the likelihood that
they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels
as glassworks (built earlier).
Clue 1 : By looking at non underlined portion we can conclude that -For comparison AS is used.
A. had one-third the likelihood that they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels
B. had one-third the likelihood of producing noise levels above 100 decibels
C. were one-third less likely to be producing noise levels above 100 decibels --> Wrong correct construction needs less ...Than ,
D. were one-third as likely that they would produce noise levels above 100 decibels ---> Wordy and awkward likely THAT
E. were one-third as likely to produce noise levels above 100 decibels --> Correct
