I think VeritasKarishma covered it nicely in this post, but I'll add one thing:
In (D) we have, "flow from rural areas to urban clusters," while in (E) we have, "flow out from rural areas into urban clusters." The phrase "flow out of... into" is sometimes okay (i.e. "Money flows out of one account and into another."). But in this case, there's no need to use "flow out from [X] into [Y]" instead of the much simpler and clearer "flow from [X] to [Y]". This isn't a DEFINITE error, but that's definitely a vote in favor of (D) over (E).
Combined with the point made by VeritasKarishma and others regarding the placement of "still", (D) is a better choice.

Dear experts,
this point is not easy for me to understand, why here is very "are still in Japan", and modifier "out of ...116" is no sense?
I read this part many times, and still have no idea.
I genuinely need your help.

It partly comes down to the placement of "still." A&B say "still in Japan"--as in, they aren't out of Japan yet. This structure might make sense if there were 116 million farmers, most of whom had left Japan. Then we could say that 5 million households were still in Japan, out of a total of 116 million people. But since we want to say that out of 116 million people in Japan, we have 5 million farm households, then the placement of "still" in D makes more sense. There are still 5 million farm households, while the other people are in non-farm households. (They haven't left Japan.) Does that help?
