Dear Sager,
I'm happy to respond.
Frankly, my friend, I am not impressed with this question at all. It took me about 5 seconds to determine the only possible answer.
You see, the proper idiom with "discourage" is
discourage from [gerund]
Only (E) has the proper idiomatic construction. Slam-dunk easy.
This question falls short of the high standards of the GMAT. Nevertheless, I love the art of Henri Rousseau, such as "The Dream," which I have seen at MoMA in NY.
Here's a more challenging SC question:
Immaculate Conception
Does all this make sense?

KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
E.
The correct idiom is “discourage from exhibiting.” You can’t say “despite him completely lacking.”You have to say “despite his complete lack of.”
