OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
There are two errors with this sentence. First, the singular subject “incidence” does not agree with the plural verb “correlate.” Second, the proper idiom is “correlate ...with” rather than “correlate ... to.”
(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.
(B) The proper idiom is “correlated with” rather than “correlated to.”
(C) The singular subject “incidence” does not agree with the plural verb “correlate.”
(D) The proper idiom is “correlate ... with” rather than “correlate ... to.”
(E) CORRECT. This choice corrects both errors in the original sentence. The singular
"incidence" agrees with the singular "correlates," and the proper idiom, “correlate...with” is employed
