Among C and E
E is correct because correct idiom is both X and Y where X and Y must be parallel

C Like other performance indicators, the growth rate of a startup business generally increases both with the time and resources dedicated to the endeavor.

Not parallel




E The growth rate of a startup business, like other performance indicators, generally increases with both the time and the resources dedicated to the endeavor

Parallel
