The key is plural "restrictions"
A.B are out

and ambiguos "they". D resolves both.

C is awkward as "have made difficulties" doesn't make any sense

Federally imposed restrictions on how much they may pay small savers has made difficulties for savings banks as they are competing with such unregulated investment vehicles as money market certificates.

(A) has made difficulties for savings banks as they are competing with such
(B) has made difficulties for savings banks competing with such
(C) have made difficulties for savings banks as they are competing with
(D) have made it difficult for savings banks to compete with such
(E) have made it difficult for savings banks as they are competing with such

A and B are out since subject( restrictions) is plural and verb(has) is singular.

C , with out "such" at the end of the option, the whole sentence becomes awkward.

between D and E,
in E "they" is redundant

D gives us the correct meaning.

and also D uses to+ infinitive which is almost always correct in GMAT.
