Many Lithuanian words preserve important features of Proto-Indoeuropean, the language from which it is descended, and scholars compare it to the corresponding word in other Indoeuropean languages in order to reconstruct the original Proto-Indoeuropean form.

A)it is descended, and scholars compare it to the corresponding word in other Indoeuropean languages
B)it descends, and scholars compare it to the corresponding words in another Indoeuropean language
C)they are descended, and scholars compare them with the corresponding words in other Indoeuropean languages
D)they descend, and scholars compare them to the corresponding word in another Indoeuropean language
E)there is descent, and scholars compare them with corresponding words in other Indoeuropean languages

IT refers to THE LANGUAGE/PROTO-INDOEUROPEAN when the intended meaning is to refer to WORDS. Drop A/B

D - DECEND implies words decend as a matter of practice when the intended meaning is words decended before; IMO use of since ANOTEHR is used, LANGUAGE should have been LANGUAGES; drop D

E - THERE IS DECENT (awkward); do not know what is decent from language;

IMO C, But I feel OTHER should have been ANOTHER

First, you are talking about plural words so A and B are not correct. E also goes to the singular form.

You are left with C and D.

C is correct because when comparing similar things you use 'compare with'.
