I prefer B to A.
D and E seem to change the meaning of the sentence and as far as C is concerned, 'hopefully' is not GMAT lingo.

(A) can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set - MAY BE
(B) it is hoped, can provide enough power that will set - MAY BE
(C) hopefully can provide enough power, this will set - WRONG
(D) is hopeful to set - Here we are talking about specific cyclist
(E) hopes setting - Same problem as D.
A or B
there is no use of comma before 'it is hoped' in 'B'.
I pick A.
