The answer is C, A, E. The dense deposits on the basement membrane are the 'spikes' seen on the basement membrane on light microscopy; they consist of IgG and complement.

The sub-epithelial deposits consist of IgG and complement and represent trapped small immune complexes.

The only feature of note in minimal change disease is fusion of the epithelial cell foot processes.
