This question checks the correct usage of tenses with respect to the meaning.
In all the answers except E, the past participle is used, which means that the act of giving purpose continued for some time in the past, which is illogical.
The purpose can be given only at the time when the bank was created.
So, the answer is E

Past perfect was not used in E because both the actions i.e "creation of International Bank" and "Purpose" indicates to International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Is my reasoning correct?
