C -> no need of had. 'Had' suggests that the shareholders were searching for opportunities even before they got discouraged. Not the intended meaning.
D -> Subject - Verb disagreement. 'Companies' is plural while 'its' is for singular.
E -> Correct. 'shareholders' clearly indicates that shareholders are discouraged and after getting discouraged, they are trying to find alternatives.
