(E) "the withholding of physical affection from young children interferes"
The mistake here is in the punctuation. The subject ("young...affection") and its verb are needlessly separated by a comma ("interferes"). Furthermore, the sentence's structure is complicated. Only E fixes these mistakes without introducing any new ones.
There is improper punctuation in Option (A). The subject ("young...affection") and its verb are needlessly separated by a comma ("interferes"). Uncertain pronoun references are present in Option (B). It's unclear to what the pronoun "it" refers.
The incorrect usage of a definite article is in Option (C). The words "the failure" implies that the failure has already been discussed, yet this is false. Choice (D) uses inappropriate wording. "Withholding" is a verb without a subject.
