B vs. E
Both B and E conveys the same intended meaning, the error is in the not-so-parallel construct of the prior.
(B) each financial institution faces a similar crisis, the investment houses holding a significant number of subprime mortgage loans and the insurance companies that underwrite credit swaps obviously dictate
--> Incorrect, Parallel error "The X verb+ing, and the Y that"
(E) all financial institutions face similar crises, those investment houses that have a significant holding in subprime mortgage loans and those insurance companies that underwrite credit swaps obviously dictate
--> Correct, rectifies parallel error "Those X that, and those Y that"

+1 for E
Split 1:
S-V agreement
Insurance companies - Plural subject should have 'Dictate'- Plural verb
Eliminate A, C, D
Split 2:
Between B and E
The investment houses is wrong diction. Those investment houses is right diction. Hence eliminate B
