(D) shows that friendships made in school tend to last
(E) shows (that) friendships in school tends to last
The subject is singular "Research ... shows": out A.
"shows" requires "that": out E.
In the last part of the sentence the text uses "those": PLURAL. We must find a plural name for the underlined part: out B.
C uses awkward verbs : "is showing" and "tended "; and it is not parallel.
IMO D

I vote for D
Research conducted over a period of several years show that friendship made in school tend to last longer than those made later in life.
(A) show that friendship made in school tend to last >>> Wrong. Real subject is "Research" that is singular, it must go with "shows"/ is showing. So A is out.
(B) shows that a friendship made in school tends to last >>> Wrong. See "longer than THOSE made", the structure must parallel, we have to use FRIENDS, not friend. So B is out.
(C) is showing that school friendships tended to last >>> Wrong. Progressive tense in C is not necessary, and FRIEND is wrong, must be FRIENDS // THOSE. So C is out.
(D) shows that friendships made in school tend to last >>> Correct.
(E) shows friendships in school tends to last >>> Wrong. E is also wrong. Friends must go with TEND to, not TENDS to
