Definitely E, D is the first to eliminate because of 'numbers of'

IMO:D
This pattern follows:(Try Sahil's note)
One of the NOUN(this noun will always be plural)----->PLURAL verb.

A number of-Plural
The number of-Singular but One of the pattern is different.
A sentence like X is one of the Y:Such a sentence should have a subject verb agreement with Y and not with X.
X--->New Jersy reports (Subject singular)
Y---->five highest numbers of reported cases.
Hope I am not wrong :)

I guess you are right most part. As you said, in 'one of the' constructions, verb following the noun in the prep phrase is always plural. But if there is a relative pronoun after this noun (such as that...), then the verb MUST be plural. However, if there is no relative pronoun, verb need to be singular.

One of the 5 cars that are red...

One of the 5 cars is broken.

Experts, correct this if it is wrong.

One of the 5 cars is broken.

Experts, correct this if it is wrong.
Both examples given are correct. In the first case, "that" indicates that "are" is going along with "cars" (i.e. all 5 of them are red); in the second case "is" only refers to one of the 5 cars (i.e. only one of them is broken), so we definitely want the singular verb.

If the first example had been a complete sentence, we would have seen that another verb would follow and would agree with "one". For example:

One of the 5 cars that are red is broken.
