Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, and compared with sport utility vehicles, most cost less, get better gas mileage, and make it easy for passengers to get in and out, and have a smoother, more car-like ride.

A. and make it easy for passengers to get in and out
B. and allow passengers to get in and out easily
C. and allow passengers to get in and out more easily
D. make it easier for passengers when getting in and out
E. allow passengers to get in and out more easily
A: most cost...get...and make...and have
B and C: most cost......and allow...and have
In these options, the and in red is unnecessary.
Eliminate A, B and C.

In D, it lacks a clear antecedent.
Eliminate D.

The correct answer is E.

In the idiom X makes it Y, the referent for it must be clear.
In most cases, the referent for it will be a that-clause or an infinitive phrase that appears later in the sentence.
