"Even though MORE .... "

Word "MORE" suggests comparison... so usage of "THAN" would be correct. So we are left with C, D and E.

C - "than there was..." is redundant...

D - removes the word "other" while saying "than in any month..."

E - Correctly uses "than in any other month". Also the usage of "what" in the end makes it more clear.

So, I would go for Choice E.

E is the correct choice: reasons
- than in any OTHER month - Correct Idiom
- were not as low as WHAT - without what the statement means that the comparison is sales of fund shares and industry trade group

Narrowed down to B and E. Between B and E, E is correct. B uses had been with since which is wrong.
This time no looking back!!!
