To me, E is the answer. A crisis/recession increased the level of unemployment across all age categories (young people included, the situation described in statement A) and also generated huge numbers of applicants for any position (manager not being quite an entry level position for young people).
Statement A does not say that unemployment increased ONLY for young people and statement B does not refer implicitly to young people, as manager position is senior. So two separate effects of some common cause are the most realistic answer.

According to me the answer is (c) as there occurs no relation between the two sentences. No of youth employes have increased doesn't shows any reason for the increase and the no of employees submitting applications for the same post. These two are independent causes.
