this isnt a GMAT like question. First of all data in US usage has diverse meanings. It is used as a replacement word for "information" . Second the data ( datum) is of Latin origin (debated). The question does not make it clear as to what the data here is referring to. It could be information( which is non countable and thus has no plural form). And the usage of "datum" is obsolete in US.
conclusion- dont waste your brains on this one.

1. We use if in conditional sentences. That is not the case. B, C are out.
2. Now the main confusion here is "data". Data is not equal to information in sense that information is singular, and the data is plural.
It means that A, B, C are out.
And we are left with E. Does not sound very good, but what to do.
