I would also go with D.............
A & B wrong because of the use of exhibits
C wrong because of the wrong use of "either"
E awkward.........
A & B wrong because of the use of exhibits
C wrong because of the wrong use of "either"
E awkward.........
Two seperate stuff : The list ..... has been expanded to include
and : animals that exhibit : A and B out
Further : In either or construction, the two items should be parallel : Using either x or y and not either using x or y. C out
also, expanded and includes is not a correct construction to introduce a purpose E out.
Left with D as correct IMO

Charged up again to beat the beast 
My 2 cents :
"Preference for" is idiomatic . SO pick D
"Preference for" is idiomatic . SO pick D
looks like 200$ rather than 2 c

all comments are worthy and correct as well
but still, i want to emphasize one ques...
why can't a LIST have a PREFERENCE..
may be there is a list have certain other items and including a PREFERENCE a column in the list as well... ?
