I think "it is cannot express" because "ourselves" in context to human body can't be conveyed they are expressed.

It is possible to write can not, but you generally find it only as part of some other construction, such as "not only, but also".

Difference between "cannot" and "can not".
I cannot go to school.
This would mean that, for whatever reason (e. G. Ill health) , you were unable to attend school due to circumstances beyond your control.
I can not go to school.
Your girlfriend just got a day off and wants to hang with you. It is well within your abilities to NOT go to school. You are making a decision to purposefully avoid it.

The main difference between "cannot" and "can not" is that the first term deals with impossibility and the second handles choice. The two-word version also is more common when a person wants to add emphasis on something, or when he wants to stress that someone has more than one skill.
Mistakes about how to use them properly means that they are virtually interchangeable in regular speech, however.

Convey to express a thought. So E is right.
