Ron,
very well agreed with your point for E.
but are we also not assuming something in A.In problem statement it clearly says "curb these dramatic increases, the ministry of health prohibited drug manufacturers from raising any of their products' prices"

It means this price curb "can" apply for new drugs also.This "can" we are trying to wave off for answer choice A.

no.
the passage says that the companies were prevented from raising the prices of drugs.
the word "raise" only makes sense for something that already has a current price -- i.e., a drug that is already on the market. if a company puts out a new drug, then it's impossible to "raise" that drug's price, because the company will be setting the price for the very first time.
