All are wrong.

This Question test three concept i think:

Parallelism : eliminated : B and C.
Relative Modifier : Eliminated A
Sentence Structure : We need a working verb.

Ron's letter to Mary outnumber her letters to anyone else.

outnumber : Working verb.
outnumbering : present participle : NOT working VERB.
So Option D and E are out as well.
