Almost identical, the hardneck and softneck garlic varieties’ similarities make them especially susceptible to Basal rot.
The sentence starts with 'almost identical'.
So, what are almost identical? The two garlic varieties are identical, not their similarities.
Eliminate options A, C, and D.
(A)garlic varieties' similarities make them especially susceptible to Basal rot
(C) similarities of garlic varieties make them especially susceptible to Basal rot
(D) similarities make members of the garlic varieties especially susceptible to Basal rot
The subject is the 'hardneck and softneck garlic varieties'. Use of 'and' makes the subject plural. So, the use of singular pronoun its is incorrect.
Eliminate option B
(B) garlic varieties are especially susceptible to Basal rot because of its similarities
(E) garlic varieties are especially susceptible to Basal rot because of their similarities
Correct
Choice E is the answer.
