C.
Define VLAN 5 in the allowed list for the trunk port on SW_A.

D.
Disable pruning for all VLANs in both switches.

E.
Define VLAN 5 in the allowed list for the trunk port on SW_B

Explanation:
switchport trunk allowed vlan, defines which VLANs can be trunked over the
link. By default, a switch transports all active VLANs (1 to 4094) over a trunk link. There
might be times when the trunk link should not carry all VLANs. For example, broadcasts are
forwarded to every switch port on a VLAN—including the trunk link because it, too, is a
member of the VLAN.
If the VLAN does not extend past the far end of the trunk link, propagating broadcasts across
the trunk makes no sense.
