incidence of... is singular.
So either d or e.
I don't know the correct one here, but D sounds better.

I think it's E
incidence=correlates
And I think correlate uses with as the correct preposition.
Can anyone verify that rule for us?

1. correlate(s) with is the correct usage. so eliminate A,B and D.
2. C has the incorrect tense usage - incident correlate is wrong.

E it is .

The choice was obviously between D and E! And the correct idiom is E,

correlate with...
