The biggest problem with B and C is that the pronoun "they" switches reference to different nouns in the same sentence. As per the intended meaning of the sentence "they" should refer to "bear markets" and "their" should refer to "individual investors". However this is wrong because we should have consistent reference of they/their/them to a single noun in the same sentence.

In D and E, the singular "it" is made to refer to the plural "bear markets".


@sachindia: "in that" is used to provide description in a particular/specific way and the implication is limited only in this specific sense.

On the other hand "because" implies a cause-effect relationship.
