(A) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak. - Parallelism issue. Do computer/technical skills have disinclinations?

(B) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, which they admit they lack, many people are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak. - Same as A.

(C) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree. - ambiguous construction. The analytical skills don't bring out a disinclination (which is awkward anyways). Means to say "because of their weak analytical skills...", as in "because (they have) weak analytical skills....".

(D) Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak. - OK, reads fine when you remove the present participle phrase "willing to admit...", which modifies people, although I'd like to see a connecting word like "yet" added - "Many people, willing to admit....are YET disinclined to recognize...". This would link the fact that they will admit to weak computer skills, but not weak analytical skills, whereas the original construction reads that "Many people, (who happen to admit to weak skills, coincidentally) are disinclined to admit to weak analytical skills."

(E) Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills. - "while willing" is missing a subject. "Many people have...while willing to admit" is non-sensical.
