(B) maintain a healthy diet are at low risk of sudden cardiac death during moderate to vigorous physical exertion
(C) maintain a healthy diet will be at low risk of sudden cardiac death during moderate to vigorous physical exertion

We need "maintain" & "exercise" in parallel. A & D are out.
C is using "will". Unnecessary change of tense. Out.
E. Unnecessarily added a "that" clause at the end. IMO "that clause is also ambiguous a bit.
It seems to convey the meaning, "physical exertion" that is moderate to "vigorous".......
B clears the air quite easily by comparing Adjectival phrases "moderate physical exertion" & vigorous physical exertion".
