The original contains an error in verb tense consistency.
(1) The study's results are about two conditions related to show-horses; one of these conditions, rest, is not underlined and is in the present tense. There is no indication of a shift in verb tense, and the other condition, raced.., should also be in the present tense.
(2) In the study, show-horses that rest and race are compared with another group of show-horse, those exhausted... This comparison should also be in the present tense.
Choice E expresses all actions in the present tense. If horses rest and race expresses that both conditions are in the present tense. These horses are less likely...than (are) those... is also in the present tense; because it is repeated in exactly the same form when applied to both items in the comparison, the verb are can be omitted before the those.
Choice B retains raced.
Choice C incorrectly uses the past tense sustained.
Choice D uses the present perfect have been.
