首先从句子的意思来看的话，是：在美国，Mideast和其他group的企业家比率的比较。
因为两者比较的话，对象不一致的话一定不能少了that/those of等，所以直接锁定了C和E。

C：Immigrants from the Mideast exhibit 【rates of entrepreneurship [exceeding those of virtually every other immigrant group]】 in the increasingly diverse United States economy.
C中的exceeding起到一个Modifier的作用，对rates of entrepreneurship的修饰；同时those指代的是前面的rates of entrepreneurship，正确的对比了Mideast与other group的rates。如果改成exceed的话，那么句中就有两个动词了。

E：由于主谓不一致，the rates与exceeds主谓不一致。而且E中的对比不合适，the rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship 与 those of [the rates of] every other immigrant group 对比。即of后的对象不一致，一个是entrepreneurship，另一个是immigrant group

LZ可以先研究一下exceeding 在这里作什么成分。
