"awarded X" is preferred over "awarded with X", but I think both of them are OK , maybe the first expression is more consice.
.....待查证....

However, it seems E is the best answer.

" the nation's highest military award" is used to describe " the CM of H", then we take out the phrase.
the structure of the sentence:" [AA soldiers] were awarded (the CM of Honor) in recognition of (their outstanding bravery)"
Simple and Clearrrrr
