(A) Not an amazing sentence but no major issues
(B) Idiomatically wrong, among other things. Don't want to split up the statement about literacy rates increasing at a constant rate. They insert the prepositional statement "from the 17th century to the 19th century" awkwardly.
(C) Very similar to A, but probably A is better by virtue of placing the subordinate prepositional part (the centuries) at the beginning.
(D) Same issue as B. Awkward placement of the 17th and 19th centuries clause.
(E) From the 17th century to the 19th century was an increase..." No. Missing a lot of things there.
Tough call between A and C but A is a little better
