were requested in D is the wrong tense . We can use simple past thus making E the only choice.

I got E.

the correct idiom here is In addition to.
so A, B and C is out.

Between D and E, in D that were is redundant.

So E remains.

In Addition to is the correct usage. So eliminate A,B and C.
Were requested in D is wrong. So my answer is E.

Using simple past rather than a restrictive clause as in D is better. E is thus best. Furthermore, "was" in indeed needed for we are speaking of the "increase"
