in E, after And there is a complete clause and you need a COMMA before AND.

from the two posts, i can deduce that (per the difference) B is correct because the 2nd part of the sentence (DC) uses the subject of the previous clause (IC)- implied.

Whereas, E is wrong because it connects two ICs with an "and" but without the required COMMA.

the last question in og verbal review states that we need COMMA+AND to connect 2 independent clauses. In other cases, we need AND without COMMA.
