B,C --> awkward
E misses out chunks of information that is originally in the sentence
A --> should be U.S's and not jsut U.S
D is best.

^ D ^
but beyondinfifnity,
I think you forgot to add the possessive 's in the answer choices. The original question has the 's in all choices. Anyway, it is D.
A is not ||.
(A) After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source and supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
is & supplied ??

--> we need "is supplied" for A to be correct!
(B) Natural gas, after crude oil the United States second biggest fuel source, supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
---> we need "is supplied" for B to be correct --> out
(C) Being supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America, natural gas, the United States second biggest fuel source after crude oil.
--->"being" ---> avoid right away
(D) Natural gas, the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil, is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
--> fine!
(E) Natural gas is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America
---> part of original meaning disappears --> out
D it is.

D is korrekt!
A misses out because of missing 'is', as Laxi mentioned...

The two choices are different in this respect
