Hi Hoozan, thanks for tagging me on this.
Would request you to go thru this post on the repetition of "that".
A that is usually repeated when GMAT believes that there would be some ambiguity in the sentence, if that were not repeated.
For example:
Peter said that his sister is a bad driver but his brother is a good driver.
There could be following two interpretations of the above sentence:
Interepreation-1:
Peter said that:
i) His sister is a bad driver but
ii) his brother is a good driver
In other words, Peter said two things: i) His sister is a bad driver and ii) his brother is a good driver
Interepreation-2:
i) Peter said that his sister is a bad driver but
ii) his brother is a good driver
In other words, the sentence is stating two things: i) Peter said that his sister is a bad driver and ii) his brother is a good driver
Since the above two interpretations are possible, GMAT would most likely fix this ambiguity, by either stating:
i) Peter said that his sister is a bad driver but that his brother is a good driver.
- Notice that the repetition of a that (after but) makes the second that parallel to the first that. Hence, the above sentence can only have Interepreation-1.
Or
ii) Peter said that his sister is a bad driver, but his brother is a good driver.
- Notice that the above sentence uses a comma before the coordinating conjunction but. In such cases, but generally connects two Independent clauses and so, the above sentence can only have Interepreation-2.
In option E of the current sentence under consideration (It is well known in the supermarket industry...), the very distinctive structure of the sentence on RHS of the parallelism indicator and (how frequently...) makes it very evident that the only similar parallel structure on the LHS of the parallelism indicator and is how items.. Hence, the sentence does not need to repeat the that, to establish this parallelism.

I understand how E is structurally parallel, (how + noun + verb), but the verb is not paralell (are placed vs turns over). Why does this not matter here?

There's no need for parallel verbs here. First, there is nothing directly linking the two verbs. They are each part of a modifier, and belong to different subjects. We didn't say "The items are placed and turn over," but rather "how items are placed and how frequently the inventory turns over. Second, even when we do have parallel verbs, we can shift between active and passive voice if the shift serves the meaning. For instance, I can say "The suspect was apprehended and made a full confession." One thing happened to the suspect, and the other was something the suspect did.

Hello MS1014, brandy96, Mayank221133,
Choice D seems to be a very confusing one. This choice is incorrect for the structure of the clause "how frequently is the inventory turned over". This structure is NOT a statement. It is a question because the verb "is" appears before the subject "the inventory". Take a good look at the similar structure in the non-underlined portion - "how items are placed on shelves". This structure is a statement because here the verb "are placed" appears after the subject "items".
We do not need a question in this sentence. We need two statements that are parallel. Because the second element in the list appears as a question, Choice D is incorrect.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Shraddha
