Singular noun->'THAT'.
Plural noun->'THOSE'.
Ex- Philosophy of Europeans was more rational "THAN THAT OF" Eastern Philosophers.
Gods in Greek mythology are more realistic "THAN THOSE OF" Indian mythology.

It should be D as it is in comparison form and I think that option D suits the best. Please say why it should be E and not D?
