I think this can be another way, hope it is correct..

"programs enable" sub-verb agreement is correct... so, "programs enables" is incorrect.. C and D are out
A and E has able enable so out

B is the answer

With the combination of "programs" and "enables," you can easily eliminate D. However, C is not automatically disqualified. In C, the subject of "enables" is "that," which is short for "the fact that many house builders offer rent-to-buy programs." "Fact" is really a singular subject, so "enables" is grammatically OK. However, this doesn't make logical sense in terms of meaning. As Mike mentions, the situation that *some* home builders offer rent-to-buy programs does not automatically mean that any given family with insufficient savings will be able to move into new housing.
