(A) It will do 4 things: improve, make, reduce, and give. Parallel.
(B) Not only is "will be reduced" passive, the verb breaks parallelism. This is a list of 4 active verbs with "it" as the subject. "Will be reduced" makes "health-care costs" the subject of the third action.
(C) "while improve" is incorrect; it should read "while reducing"
(D) "reducing" costs could be OK, if this phrase modifies the previous one; that is, if reduced costs are the result of "more cost-effective and user friendly" government. [BTW, I think rejecting this choice this requires too much outside knowledge for a GMAT question! There really is no grammar flaw in this one, only meaning. That's not particularly GMAT-like.]
(E) "making" and "reducing" could act as adverbial modifiers of the clauses preceding them. Thus, it is bad form to put two in a row: as if there's an adverbial modifier of an adverbial modifer. This would only be grammatically correct with "and" between "making" and "reducing," and even then there would be a question about meaning: Does improving education lead to more cost effective government and reduced health-care costs?
