In reference to the current trend of an increasing number of Witness Protection Program participants being "outed", officials often expressed anxiety that participants are increasingly contacting their family and friends and are even having friends visit them; these actions make such participants much more difficult to protect.

My answer is (E). It took me 01:40.
"being outed", especially when it is used in a rather long noun phrase (the current trend of an increasing number of Witness Protection Program participants being "outed") is awkward to say the least. All five options insist such use though.
(BC) are eliminated because proposition "about" cannot introduce a clause.
A casual scan over (DE) does not uncover any perceptible difference. So I had to do a careful comparison and realized the only difference is between
"expressed" (In D)
and
"express" (In E).
Since the part that is not underlined uses simple present verb tense ("are", "make"), "express" should be used.
(D) is eliminated.
(A) is eliminated because it, too, uses "expressed".

since the non underlined sentence is in present tense,rest of the sentence must be as well.
A,C& D out
between B & E anxiety about vs anxiety that, E is better
IMO E
