It has to be D, E modifies the sentence as it doesn't specify what are the "specific jobs"

First of all- you have not pasted the complete question. Also, please underline the question. It saves a lot of time!

Choice E is incomplete

Using Subject (number) and verb(has) rule we can eliminate options A,B and C.
Option D is awkward-- 'unconfined in their performing of specific ' - doesn't look good.

Option E is the best choice.
