C - uses present perfect tense 'have' - subject (rise) is singular - incorrect
D - uses present perfect tense 'have' - subject (rise) is singular - incorrect
E - uses present perfect tense 'have' - subject (rise) is singular - incorrect

Here rise is used as a noun and is hence singular.

But when rise is used as a verb in reference to 3rd person, it is plural
rises when used as a verb in reference to 3rd person is singular.
