WHICH needs to be preceded by a comma and the only exception is when we use a preposition before WHICH .

Ex : The book, which is on the table , is a good book.

Ex : This is the only case in which I disagree .

So we can straightaway eliminate E , C and A .

Of the remaining choices B and D I would choose D .

In B That that - --- is unidiomatic and we would also need a comma between the two that .
"Know thyself" and "Nothing in excess"

IMO: D
In the sentence "That which is self-evident cannot be disputed, and that in"
highlighted 'that' seems to refer the completeprevious clause, which can't be done by any pronoun.

You need word like "this fact" or "a finding" to modify the previous clause. Hence A/B are gone.

Error in A\C : which should always be preceded by comma in GMATLAND(some exceptions eg. "of which" , "in which")

Hence it should be D

Hope that helps!!
