IMO, the answer is E. Here's why:

[spoiler]A: "have plenty of bumps and bruises" doesn't follow parallelism
B: isn't a complete sentence because of the word "although"
C: wordy and not a complete sentence
D: the part after the semicolon isn't a full sentence
[/spoiler]

I will go with E

The underlined statement after "cousins" is trying to explain the features of the subject of the sentence.
That is correctly conveyed in E
