Hi j_shreyans,
When a sentence includes an intervening phrase that begins and ends with a comma, you should be able to remove the entire phrase and still have a complete, gramatically-correct sentence.
In answer E, the intervening phrase is ".., likely to result in cognitive benefits,..." If you remove that phrase, you end up with....
The intermarriage of ethnic groups.... indeed have possibly contributed to the Flynn effect, the name given to....
Here, we have a problem with subject-verb agreement, so answer E can't be correct.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
