From Longman:
"combine s1 with s2"
Example sentence: Diets are most effective when combined with exercise.

Depending on meaning of this question, "conbined with", the passive form, should be used.

If using "combined with" as passive form, the answer A would be better than E because A is more concise, I think.
In E, "made" is a verb.
Hope my explanation would be clear to answer your question.
