IMO E is correct, though i have a small confusion...anyways


A. purchase it, and, as an increasingly well-publicized perk,
that make

That refer to perk which is singular so use of plural verb make is INCORRECT

B, C and D if u try these options to fit in they doesn't make any sense

Now in Op E which seems okay in comparison to other...i think make here if referring to policies...because of we rephrase the structure of the sentence then the part after the AND can be read as
"corporate liability insurance policies as an increasingly well-publicized perk" make it easier...this makes some sense thats y OP E
so plural subject policies and plural verb make correct....

Am I just being dense? Yes, I know it can refer back to insurance, but it seems like a sudden shift. I would have re-written this sentence. :(

While they protect employees from Â…financial ruin, give customers peace of mind, and encourage safety, corporate liability insurance policies also provide cost certainty for companies that purchase it
