The financial crash of October 1987 demonstrated that the world’s capital markets are integrated more closely than never before and events in one part of the global village may be transmitted to the rest of the village—almost instantaneously.
My reasons are as follows:
(A) integrated more closely than never before and (Here the Integration happened before the crash and after the crash, they have become even more closer, which doesn't happen generally)
(B) closely integrated more than ever before so'- Awkward
(C) more closely integrated as never before while - (While talks about things happening simultaneously, which is not what the author intends)
(D) more closely integrated than ever before and that - This seems right
(E) more than ever before closely integrated as - Awkward

Here's the official explanation provided by the GMAC for this question:
The 1987 crash demonstrated two truths: that the world’s capital markets are integrated… and that events… may be transmitted. Because these two truths must be presented in grammatically parallel structure, that must be added to the second clause. The correct idiom is more than ever, not more than never.
Option A: Second subordinate clause must begin with that; more than never is incorrect
Option B: Moving more distorts the meaning; so is not parallel to that
Option C:More… as never before is not correct; while is not parallel to that
Option D: Correct. In this sentence, the two clauses are parallel, each beginning with that, and they are correctly joined with the conjunction and; the correct idiom is used.
Option E: This word sequence is incoherent; as is not parallel to that
The correct answer is D.
