I would go for D. In E, i feel that little is place in a wrong position. "that there is of little significant difference.." sounds much better than E.

Idiom on check is different from vs difference in, different in as used in D is wrong or not idiomatic, while "difference in" in e( please check the non underline part) correct. So E should be correct.
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

d,that there is little that is significantly different

e,that there is little of significant difference <- Changes meaning..little of significant difference
means a small part of significant difference.. where as the meaning states that very small part of
something is significantly different...

IMO D
