First clear error is use of were, since population is a singular noun, use of was or verb-ed tense is required. Thus A, B and D are eliminated.
Now read C and E separately,
C. revolted against the Roman Catholics longer than the non-Anglican Protestants
E. revolted against the Roman Catholics longer than the non-Anglican Protestants did
Comparison marker longer than necessitates two similar entities be compared. In C, duration of revolution of Irish catholic population is compared to the non-Anglican Protestants which is non-sensical. One should compare duration of revolution of Irish catholic population is compared to duration of revolution of the non-Anglican Protestants.
Hence Option E is correct answer.
