a)
b) the Mexican jay's bahavior has been found
c) it has been found that Mexican jays are
d) Mexican jays have been found to be
e) the Mexican jay has benn found

What's wrong with d? What's the differnece between d and e?
unlike
their close cousins ..The use of their( pronoun) clearly shows that the subject is plural and not singular....option e would have been correct , if the sentence had used

unlike his close cousins the blue jays, which demonstrate raucous, aggressive, selfish, and very individualistics habits

his clearly refers to " the mexican jay" and thus correct
That's my two cents.
