"Team" is singular on the GMAT, a collective noun, so we can eliminate (A), (B), (C), and (D) right away. This should be an easy-question for anyone who has a good grasp on Pronouns. They even give you the clue "it" in the non-underlined portion at the end. Don't ever take the non-underlined for granted!

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
E
This sentence contains a pronoun error. Team is singular, so the underlined portion should read it had…All but one of the answer choices repeat the error.
(A) No. Team is singular, so the pronoun should be it, not they.
(B) No. Team is singular, so the pronoun should be it, not their. Also, this choice makes it sound as though the years had provisions.
(C) No. This contains the same pronoun error as the original sentence: Team is singular, so the pronoun should be it, not they.
(D) No. Pronoun error again—Team is singular, so the pronoun should be it, not their.
(E) Yes. This answer choice fixes the stem’s pronoun problem by replacing the plural they with a singular it.
