This is very much a meaning question.

Ask yourself what was placed in the stimulating environment?

A) It wasn't the brain growing as the sentence implies (in mice is a preposition)
B) The pronoun 'they' implies the brains were placed
C) Same as B
D) Here it is the brain growth
E) Finally, with the use of the relative pronoun 'that' it is clear that the mice were placed in the environment.
