you can eliminate choices a,b and c because all of them have SV agreement issue.

the subject is Professors (plural) -- only choices left are D and E.

Option E is awkward 'information for independent information' .

IMO option D is the correct answer

b. in his introductory reading lists, the student can acquire information for the background interpretation of
c. in his introductory reading lists, the student acquires information of background interpretation of

ALL OF THE ABOVE HAVE S/V AGREEMENT ERROR (Professors need a plural their)
d. in their introductory reading lists, the student acquires independent background information for interpreting ---CORRECT
e. in their introductory reading lists, the student acquires background information for independent - UNNECESSARY. Information is unnecessarily used twice, distorting the meaning
