IMO E

Range from X to Y is correct idiom so D and E are eliminated.
A and B use "others" incorrectly.

Ranging from the potential for political instability in some countries ..... blah blah in others

Answer plz

Ranging from A AND B is wrong. C and D out.

B and E are not parallel.

idiom + parallelism + critical reading.

I'm confused. I don't understand, how to find any grammatical mistake in the original sentence.

So let's have a look on choices.

A, B, and C are start with TO.
C and D are start with AND

Which is correct? Ranging from X to Y is correct. (Like I travelled from London to Paris). Not from London and Paris. (Little hint)
C and D are OUT.

Let's take B.

"to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and in others a serious lack of information about investments"

I would like to protect a serious lack of information about investment in others.
I would like to protect in others a serious lack of information about investment. // Sounds awkward. I'm unable to comprehend it.

B is also OUT.

And similarly E.

What remains?
Only A
