I chose E - an amount that.. should be an appositive modifier, plus the "transfers" goes well with "are" Also, why is D wrong?

No it's not total that the verb refers to - it's transfers.
I actually thought that the noun + noun modifier concept would apply here.
Having said that, I still feel E is the answer.
Anybody care to explain why C is the answer?
