  I think E.
  'between' is correct as the comparison is b/w 2 entities.
  'comparing bond yields with' sounds correct

  E it is.
  When you are choosing between 2 things, right word is between.
  When you are comparing two similar things, right idiom is compare A with B.

  Compare apples with oranges. Compare an apple to an orange.
  
  Select E and move on...
  
  Edited> On second thought, even though the above idioms may be correct, there appears to be multiple idioms in this sentence.
  
  Base a choice on + noun
  
  <or>
  
  Make a choice by + verb
  
  In which case the correct answer should be C.
