B.
The government predicts that costs will be greatly reduced for
consumers and businesses that make a large number of long-distance
calls by the Federal Communication Commission's telephone rate cuts,
Two "that" in a row is not concise and bad because it will lead to confusion: whether  "by the Federal Communication Commission's telephone rate cuts" modify the first that-clause or the second one.

C.
The government's prediction is (that is required at here), for consumers and businesses making a
large number of long-distance calls, costs will be greatly reduced by
the recent telephone rate cuts made by the Federal Communications
Commission,
"That" is missing. Otherwise, "costs will be greatly reduced by
the recent telephone rate cuts made by the Federal Communications
Commission" has to change to a noun or a noun +that clause.

D. For consumers and businesses that make large number
of long-distance calls, the government prediction that the Federal
Communication's recent telephone rate cuts will greatly reduce costs,

E.
For consumers and businesses making a large number of long-distance
calls, the government predicts that the recent telephone rate cuts that
the Federal Communications Commission has made will greatly reduce
costs,
D and E are confusing and distort the orignal meaning because it sounds that the government makes a prediction for a specific group of consumers and businesses.
also for E, two "that" is not concise.
