A. the rates of manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times as prevalent as in

C. the rates of manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times more prevalent when compared to

D. manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times as prevalent when compared to

I don't understand how E and D can be after elimination answer because it misses word rate from original sentence . On real GMAT is that possible?

In D and E, "manic depression and major depression" become objects of the verb "indicate".

The meaning here is: Studies indicate that manic depression and major depression are more prevalent.
