My answer is (E). It took me 01:16.
There is a comparison between condition X and condition Y. It makes sense to juxtapose X and Y. Eliminate (AB).
(C) "During sleeping" and "waking" are not parallel.
Between (D) and (E), they are both parallel to my eyes. If anything, (D) seems to be more parallel. But I have made the choice of (E). So that will be my answer.

Experts' Global Official Explanation:
Meaning + Comparison + Modifiers
- • Comparison must always be made between similar elements.
A. This answer choice incorrectly modifies the noun “proteins” with the modifying phrase “when awake”, illogically implying that the proteins themselves sleep and wake.
B. This answer choice incorrectly modifies the noun “proteins” with the modifying phrase “when sleeping”, illogically implying that the proteins themselves sleep and wake. Further, Option B incorrectly compares “proteins produced when sleeping” to “waking hours” rather than to the proteins produced during waking hours.
C. This answer choice incorrectly compares proteins produced… “during sleeping” to “waking” rather than to the proteins produced “during waking”.
D. This answer choice incorrectly modifies the noun “proteins” with the modifying phrases “when asleep” and “when awake”, illogically implying that the proteins themselves sleep and wake.
E. Correct. This answer choice correctly compares the phrase “during sleep” with the phrase “during waking hours”. Hence, in the construction “proteins required…are produced in greater quantities…during sleeping…than during waking hours”, Option E leads to a logical meaning that more proteins are produced during the state of sleep than are produced during the state of wakefulness.
E is the best answer choice.
