First of all, “underlies” is not even being used correctly in this sentence. You can NOT say that something “underlies” something else.

I agree with what Brolex posted about having a clear pronoun antecedent. Choice E is the only option that doesn’t use “it” needlessly and states right off the bat as the “assumption.”
