A and E, no doubt. Though I'd love to see an option for "all of the above" just to mess with the test takers.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like retry rate could be important too, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that don't seem directly related to the MCS, then focus on the remaining choices.
