At first i liked E, but "its" is slightly ambiguous.

I narrowed it down to B and D because they are in the active voice. Then I choose D because I didn't think "or" was correct.

I dont think you can eliminate A,C and E on the basis of the usage of 'it' because you can use 'it' when referring to a person whose gender is unknown. e.g When is the baby due? (When is it due?)

(When is it due?) In A 'it' is ambiguous. In C,E maybe you are right: 'its' is not worse than 'with'.

I think one can eliminate C due to the presence of the semi colon. There should be a comma instead.
