This is a rule of parallelism when 'THAN' occurs for comparison ->
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.

PLEASE provide an evidence that E is the right answer but I think D is the most appropriate, because it is comparison.

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?

Superlative adjective (greatest) is used to compare more than two objectives. So I think A is answer.

The answer should be A because the comparison is with the all towns of the world. So the Superlative degree must be used.
