Except B and E, all other choices weaken the Directors’ accusation.

Between B and E:

E: - The time to produce has no merit to support the directors’ accusation.

Answer: B

A. does not support director's rejection.
B. It speaks of only most similar plots and characters and excludes others.
C. No indication.

D. Since the last line of stimulus mentions that the production of The Big Heist was completed before release of Thieves and since the director of Thieves has worked earlier with the director of The Big Heist, it is possible that the director of Thieves copied idea.
E. No indication

I choose D.

I chose B. I think A and E weaken the argumentation. C and D- are out of discution because the information is not useful. C- we talk only about "Thieves" and "The big heist", not about other moveis made by a studio. D- we don't know if the two directors worked together in projects similar with the two movies.

I also choose B.

The conclusion here is: 'Based on these similarities...'
