Hi getgyan,
This is a subject verb agreement problem. The subject in this case is "National Commission". The phrase "on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform" is just an add-on, so ignore it. The verb that agrees with the subject should be "is" and not "are". Thus we clearly reject (A) and (C)
Now read B, D and E in parallel. "created to find" is crisper and correct than "created for finding". Reject (B)
Again, go with a crisper option. "find ways for reducing" is incorrect usage.
The correct option is (E).

C. are a bipartisan panel created to find ways of reducing - National Commission will take a singular verb
D. is a bipartisan panel created to find ways for reducing - the verbs dont look parallel
E. is a bipartisan panel created to find ways to reduce - Correct
