E: between individual underwriters with their clients
Here, between...with is unidiomatic.
The correct idiom -- between X AND Y -- appears in the OA:
between individual underwriters AND their clients.
Eliminate E.

E: life insurance remained...in England
Here, in England is an adverb serving to modify remained, expressing WHERE life insurance remained.
Implied meaning:
Life insurance was not offered in other countries but REMAINED IN ENGLAND.
Not the intended meaning.
Eliminate E.

The intended meaning is expressed by the OA:
Life insurance in England remained...a specialized contract.
Here, in England is an ADJECTIVE serving to describe life insurance.
What TYPE of life insurance?
Life insurance IN ENGLAND.
Conveyed meaning:
A particular TYPE of life insurance -- life insurance in England -- remained a specialized contract.

Hi GMATGuruNY ,

Thank you so much for your explanation.

Just a quick question - is the usage of COMMA+WHO correct in E ?

Please explain.

Many thanks in advance.

E: clients, who typically were ship owners, overseas merchants, or professional moneylenders
In E, the usage of COMMA + who is not incorrect.
That said, D conveys the same meaning more concisely, making D better than E.
