Several issues on display here. First let's look at the end of the sentence where you have a nice split between "than" and "than do". This is a comparison issue as you are comparing the "sporty/social" toddlers with the "anti-social" toddlers. As such, including the word "do" incorrectly compares the "social" toddlers with an action. Eliminates A/C/D.
You also see an issue around the verb tense related to the "if clause". You need a tense pairing that makes sense for an "if clause" - past/past, present/present or present/future.
A - past/future (wrong)
B - past/present (wrong)
C - present/future (fine)
D - present/present perfect (wrong)
E - present/present (fine)
There is also a nice adverb/adjective split here - more quickly/quicker. Here we need the adverb "more quickly" to modify the verb "develop", not the adjective "quicker", which we would use to modify a noun. Eliminates B/C.
That leaves answer choice E.

The sentence relates to the IF - Clause and Modifier. In IF clause rule, choice C and E are fine. However, in the meaning, choice C using QUICKER that is adjective and modifies wrongly the clause before it, while choice E using MORE QUICKLY that is adverb and correctly modifies the developing... and learning...
So, choice E is the final answer choice.
