The editorial revisions and the new, highly technical foreword    has   helped make this edition  superior  to   previous ones.

2 things to spot:
 First : X and Y  have  helped (plural)
 Second : correct idiom: x is superior  to  something

Using both only E can be correct.

Subject:editorial revisions And technical foreword (plural)
So verb has to be plural:"Have" so A,B,C -out

The correct idiom is:"Superior to" so D-out
E wins!

-please give kudos if you like my post.

I could eliminate A,B,C based SV agreement error.

Although I know that " Superior to " is idiomatic, I am confused between " helped to make" and "helped make". 
I think the proper usage is "helped to"

Can anyone answer my query

Hi Srikanth9502

D.have helped to make this edition superior over the   superior over is wrong here and hence this option is discarded  
E.have helped make this edition superior to   correct

I think both helped to and helped make are correct.
