This one is slightly tricky... it's got to be either D or E, but which one do we pick? Well, choice E is less wordy (not capable can be supplanted with unable). So the answer is D.

I see two errors with D .
1)not capable of changes the meaning of the sentence also it is lengthy. unable is the right term here.
2)In "possible extent" possible modifies the extent not the earlier over payments.
----Correct me if i am wrong!
