I would go for 'E', idiomatic and parellel.
b. three errors - whether...or is unidomatic, vulnerable to should be used instead of vulnerable from, like should not be used
c. Such as should be used instead of Like.
d. same as in 'C'
e. Best Answer, correct use of 'vulnerable to',
such as is used correctly
parrellelism is followed.

The ecosystems of barrier islands are extremely vulnerable-whether from natural processes like shoreline recession, rising sea levels, and destructive hurricanes, or the ever-increasing pressures of development.
This question tests two things:
1. Usage of Such as V/s Like:
Such as is used to give examples. In this sentence, we are giving examples hence such as should be used
Like is used to state similarity.
2. Parallelism:
In the construction "whether ... or ..." always make sure that the same form is used after "whether" and "or"
Eg: Whether from the rising level or from the ever increasing.
A. whether from natural processes like shoreline recession, rising sea levels, and destructive hurricanes, or
Since we are giving examples, like should be replaced by Such as
B. whether from natural processes such as shoreline recession, rising sea levels, and destructive hurricanes, or also
The construction should be Whether from ... or from ..
C.to processes that are natural like shoreline recession, rising sea levels, and destructive hurricanes, and also
Since we are giving examples, like should be replaced by Such as
D. to processes that are natural ones like shoreline recession, rising sea levels, and destructive hurricanes, as well as to
