OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
D,E
There's a clue here in the word "from," used soon after the blank. Do you attach, support, or do other "positive" actions "from" something? No. You separate, distinguish, or depart "from" things. Differentiate means to "distinguish or make/draw a distinction." Note that the sentence compares Poe's detective tales with earlier mystery stories and later detective narratives. (D) and (E) are correct.
