That's a tough one.
There are a lot of structures in English, and it is usually better (though definitely not faster!) to look at them individually and not as a group. That is, what applies to one type of modifier may not apply to all modifiers. However, if we have to discuss adjectives in general, I agree that it is generally a good idea to keep an adjective as close to the noun it modifies as possible. There will always be exceptions though, so we should not look at this as a "rule".
Yesterday, I met a student who had taken the GMAT. ← This is probably the best of the 3.
I met a student yesterday who had taken the GMAT. ← But this one is not wrong.
I met a student who had taken the GMAT yesterday. ← This one seems to say that the student had taken the GMAT yesterday.

I agree with this. according to the study, identical twins reared .... etc. makes sense and brings out the true meaning.

Easy one to solve. You just need to follow the meaning.
(A) and (B) have a modifier error, as these options indicate the twins that were reared apart from each other, and so their mention should follow the modifying phrase "Reared apart from each other,". In (C), it is not clear whether the twins showed idiosyncrasies in behavior or the study. In (E), the meaning has been changed (it is twins reared apart who showed striking similarities, not twins showing striking similarities who were reared apart, as this option indicates).
Clear (D) it is.
