This is a Parallel construction problem. "...Latin American countries have found it difficult to maintain....". The following verbs in the series must follow this pattern, with either the simple form of the verb (maintain), or the infinitive (to maintain) for all of them.  E  is the only answer choice that boasts a consistent pattern, and therefore is the correct answer.
