最容易的判定方法是看comparison

只有A的主语贸易逆差可以和ongoing trade imbalances 相比

BCD都是把美国和ongoing trade imbalances 相比

E也不对。

if you say "compared with/to" for statistics, you should cite BOTH statistics in the comparison.
the expression "compared to/with" does NOT imply any sort of direction to the comparison; i.e., it gives no hint as to greater/less/like/unlike. therefore, you need to give both of the relevant statistics, or else the statement won't make any sense.

if you say "in contrast to", then you don't HAVE to mention both statistics... although you still can.

United States可以表示adj, 比如United States government, 所以不需要一定是‘s
