(A) the frequency of inventory turnovers can be -- Not parallel with "how items are placed".
(B) the frequency of inventory turnovers is often -- "is" is incorrect as there are two subjects (inventory turnover and items placed)
(C) the frequency with which the inventory turns over is often --- "Is" is incorrect.
(D) how frequently is the inventory turned over are often --- "is the inventory turned over" is incorrect. Use of new word "often" is not justified here.
(E) how frequently the inventory turns over can be
--- Correct. Parallel with "how items are placed". Use of "can be" is correct.
