Errors of the original sentence:"the appearance" - singular - are - plural - doesn't agree in number. Eliminate (A).

POE(A) and (C) can be eliminated because of SV agreement.
A.
the appearance of studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
C. because
studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
has appeared, they
(D) can be eliminated because of "appearing to suggest", you suggest or not suggest.

appearing to suggest an overall decrease in mental and physical well-being of women
B. because of studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women have appeared, they
E. studies suggesting an overall decrease in the mental and physical well-being of women
Between (B) and (E), (B) seems to be run-on sentence, IC,IC. Nevertheless (B) is too wordy in comparison with clear and concise (E)
