Cのいけない点は、 the increase in hourly wages に added されるものが直前の名詞であるretirement benefitsになるからです（文脈上an expanded program でなければならない）。

In addition to の場合は Considering のような慣用句的表現として、どこにかかるとか考えなくてもよかったのではないでしょうか？

ちなみにDのいけない点は、that were requested last July が hourly wages にかかってしまっています（動詞が were で複数形）が、実際はthe increaseがrequestedされるべきなので、that was requested last Julyになるべきです。

というわけで正解はEでした。
