Option A :- Incorrect
In this option, the singular verb includes implies that the pronoun which refers either to the singular noun decline or to the singular noun population, but neither the decline nor the population is including the list of remedies that follows.

Option B:- Incorrect
This suffers same fate as option A above and the use of pronoun which is a defaulting one.

Option C :- Incorrect
The establishment of Article THE+noun+preposition, the establishing of Article the+ gerund + preposition are no parallel with the requiring commercial fishers gerund+direct object.
All these are not in parallelism

Option D :- correct
The elements and the constructing word in this option are error free, follows parallelism and subject verb agreement.

Option E :- Incorrect
The dangling end of the closing of is not a good gerund position.
