(A) during sleep in higher concentrations than when awake

(C) in higher concentrations during sleeping than waking
(D) in higher concentrations during sleep than during waking hours
(E) in higher concentrations when asleep than when awake

OA D

IMO E

go with D

E: "when asleep than when awake", who's asleep and who's awake? logically the hormone cannot asleep or awake.
