I am bit rusty..have been out of GMAT prep for over a year now.. :)
so here's my view on this!!

we are rule out A B C..as the sentence talks about Declining values of Bonds, ...., are the cause...
Subject verb agreement for ruling out A B C. .
out of D and E.

i will rule of D for using WHICH..
Which refers to Declining values for bonds as a whole rather than referring to Bonds as such ..
ideally we should be using Which to refer to nouns just ahead of them but thats not the case in this sentence.
hence E to me...
