The pronoun their is plural, but the noun company is singular.
C. secondly, that they failed and did not
Not Parallel. 'They' is plural.
D. second, that they failed to
E. second, for failing to
'First' and 'second' are parallel, and 'for failing to replace' and 'for failing to investigate' are parallel as well.
Hence, E.
