Really tough one for me, champ. I am not able to rule out any except for D. :-(
I think A is also wrong.

Between B,C and E. I am confused. B also can be ruled out for the use of that I guess.

Now it is between C and E.

In C I am not sure about the use of who. Also I think the introduction of it as a subject is unnecessary as the clause is already parallel.

So let me just mark E and go. :(
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

+1 for E
Initally retailers made me choose C but I found websites and thought B and E are the only contenders
because websites - pay - plural + pay and ship shall be parallel
HI Vinesh.. How did you overcome B..
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

IMO E,

IMO, Best way to solve this Q

Op A: -- Parallelism Error

Op B:-- COMMA + THAT always wrong

Op C:-- Pronoun WHO can not refer to "Web sites", it refers to persons not things

Op D:-- Sub-Verb Agreement error

Hence Op E, correct

E. which pay regular mail rates and may ship from only one location,

IMO E

I am sort of sure with the usage of WHICH and PAY.
SO between option A and E.
Option A has parallelism issue.
I feel Option E is better.

HI Vinesh.. How did you overcome B..
Hey. Well I struggled. But then I went by the basic rule comma and which for non essential modifier. Here you have that and a comma, which is outside the underlined portion. Hence ruled it out.
Vineesh,
