IMO, E is correct.
At first, we split between "like" and "such as". Which one is better in this case. IMO, "like" is better because if we say countries like India and China, we do NOT mention that these countries are exactly India and China, just countries that have the same characteristics as those of India and China.
For example:
(1) I have a couple of tablets like ipad and Amazon kindle ==> my tablets just like ipad and kindle in terms of functions, design, etc.., they are not ipads or kindles
(2) I have a couple of tablets such as ipad and kindle ==> my tablets are ipad and kindle.
ANALYZE EACH ANSWER:
a)More than have any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations like India and China.
Wrong.. Any of its competitors is singular ==> "Has" is correct
b)More than has any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, has staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic to energy-hungry nations like India and China.
Wrong.. "has" is not main verb. Moreover, "has staked" changes meaning.
c)More so than any of its competitors, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, is staking its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.
Wrong.. Not parallel, and a little bit vague as I mentioned above.
d)More than any of its competitors have, Dynacorp, which will release its annual earnings report on Friday, staked its future on the business of bringing shale gas from formerly inaccessible locations like the Arctic and energy-hungry nations such as India and China.
Wrong. Any of its competitors is singular ==> "Has" is correct

In addition to what HumptyDumpty wrote , I would like to add that in C, the fact that the company intends to bring shale gas from Arctic and energy hungry countries such as India and China, is antithetical to the intended meaning. Countries like India and China are consumers, but not suppliers of shale gas. The idiomatic expression is from ... to and not from .... and. So C is out. This leaves E.
