Although acquired through more expensive special contracts, international T20 match players have the ability to score runs more rapidly than domestic cricketers do and hence are well worth the price.

Bunuel
Option [B:D] are all wrong because they feature a faulty comparison. Reading these versions literally, shows the following comparison:
the rapid ability to score more runs vs the rapid ability to score more runs. Absolutely nonsensical. That such a nonsensical meaning is conveyed, is due to the incorrect placement of rapid.
The meaning that is supposed to be conveyed is that International T20 [cricket] players score runs MORE RAPIDLY than domestic cricketers do.
To be fair, I myself chose option E over A.
My reason for doing so was that I think that the ellipsis of "do" in the introductory modifying phrase in E is totally fine, and that the meaning conveyed by A makes not much sense;
Although is a word that introduces somewhat a controversy. However, I see no controversy in players scoring more rapidly being acquired through more expensive contracts.
Therefore, IMO E. Definitely not B, C, or D
