Advertising firms know two things and these two things should be parallel. 1. how a product is displayed and 2 how reputable the show is. These two factors: how the product is displayed and how reputable a show is (a compound subject) determine the effectiveness.
ABC miss the ‘how //ism’ in the second part. In D, the singular verb ‘determines’ does not tally with the compound plural subject. E amends all the errors and is the answer.

Between D and E, i go for E. This is clearly a parallelism question. But the presence of 'and' determines whether 'determines' or 'can determine' should be used.
Since only 'and' can combine 2 things ( or phrases or clauses), in this question "how a product is displayed" 'and' " how reputable a television show is", we need a plural form.
So correct answer is 'something....' and 'something...' .... can determine 'something else...
If the question was like 'something..., along with ( or in addition to)''something else...' 'determines' would be appropriate for the singular presentation.
