Explanation:

Correct Option: E

The correct phrasal verb to be used here is 'put forward' itself.

'Put through' means to connect to someone and thus Option D is incorrect.

If we put out an announcement or story, we make it known to a lot of people. Thus option C is also unsuitable.

If we put forward a plan, proposal, or name, we suggest that it should be considered for a particular purpose or job.

Clearly, the sentence is absolutely correct and thus needs no improvement.

Option E is hence the correct answer.
