E Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence bears errors of numeral adjective and relative pronoun: rules are countable, so 'fewer' should be used to modify them in place of 'lesser'. 'Whom' should be used in place of 'who' as it refers to the object 'the teachers'. This option rectifies both the errors.
