Once considered an invaluable reference, the Bible has been increasingly neglected in modern schools as the legal system has defined more strictly the Constitutional division of church and state.

a) been increasingly neglected keeps the meaning intact. No errors. CORRECT
b) neglected, increasingly The meaning is awkward. The bible has done the work of neglecting which is practically impossible. INCORRECT
c) been neglected, increasingly The part after the comma neither seems like a phrase nor a noun+noun modifier. It looks a full sentence and hence is run-on. INCORRECT
d) been increasingly treated with neglect too wordy. Option A is pretty concise. INCORRECT
e) increasingly been treated with neglect Same as D _________________
To answer your question, D is just too wordy. Think of it this way - is the wordiness really required to give some extra valuable info ? Without the extra wordiness does the meaning change?
The answer to both questions is NO. The meaning for both Option A and D is the same.
Hence you can safely eliminate D. _________________
