IMO D

Most of the proposed health benefits of tea ---> Plural verb required

Drop A, B...Op E, use of THEY is incorrect as it is ambiguous here..

B/w C and D...

Op C: if u elaborate the structure

Most of the proposed health benefits of tea come from antioxidants-compounds also found in beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C, and [Most of the proposed health benefits of tea] inhibit the formation of plaque along the body's blood vessels.

so if u notice the subject for the verb "inhibit" its clearly wrong...its the compounds that inhibit...okay...

Op D: the word THAT after and is referring to COMPOUNDS using THAT and THAT parallelism...

Hope this help

A humble request: It would be really good for the readers if the questions are edited properly, poor editing affect the focus and cause irritation. I believe its the responsibility of the person who is asking question to re-check the editing.
Thanks
