Answer E.
X rather than Y - is used to signify preference of X over Y. Hence wrong in the context of the given sentence.
X instead of Y - means " X in place of Y", when something/someone can be replaced. It also means "X as an alternative for Y". Clearly wrong as the sentence does not mean a replacement.
Whereas - signifies contrast between similar things, facts or ideas. Correct in the context of the sentence.
