(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did
(B) so fast(, and in some parts even faster than, )those – if you remove the nonrestrictive clause, the sentence will be awkward.
(C) as fast(, and in some parts even faster than,) those – if you remove the nonrestrictive clause, the sentence will be awkward.
(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those - correct
(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they did
Cheers,
John

Agree with D as correct answer
also because only D and E have idimatic expression as fast as. E with what they did is awkward
