D : comma before that
E : verb issue

A.same

Hold it!!




B.Between mammals ,generally known for bearing live young.monotremes are unusual for instead laying eggs which they incubate outside the body.

here we are discussing a subset & a set. So "among" is preffered than"between". Moreover "between..and" is the pattern ,which is not seen over here.

C.monotremes are unusual among mammals because they lay eggs that they incubate outside the body,instead of bearing live young.

"They"---does not have clear antecedent.

D.most mammals bear live young but monotremes are unusual for laying eggs,that they incubate outside the body.

Awkward Meaning. "They"--No clear antecedent

E.aside from mammals,generally known for bearing live young,the monotremes unusually lays eggs that they incubate outside the body

Poor Construction.
