Among the tactics being used by banks to discourage small individual accounts are higher maintenance charges for accounts with low balances, reduction or elimination of free services, as well as that they are stiffening the penalties for bounced checks.

What is the source?

I think B is the correct answer because of parallelism.

Here I am expecting a list of tactics, so they should be in parallel.
Also, I prefer list of nouns rather than list of actions. So I choose B over E

IMO it shd be B.

I have B & E as contender.

I prefer to go with B coz it has parallel structure. E is little awkard here. If you look at the entire sentence it will become

In order it to be parallel we need 'the' in parallel components of the sentence.
