Researchers discovered that the failure of legislation passed in 1936 in France to improve the working conditions of bakers was due more to the fear that large conglomerates would gain footholds in small communities than to any inherent problem in the legislation.

The choice is between A and B.
C,D, E are all wrong.. because of redundancy of due and because...
And E changes the meaning of the sentence. In E, due is used as a verb rather than an infinitive.
I will go with B.
A again tries to use due as a verb.

A.
B is not correct because it has "than" but we need comaritives such as more, larger, greater, longer etc to make the proper use of than. so B cannot be correct. all other choices are obviously wrong.

Why I picked B is because DUE seems to act like an verb.
But I would accept A as an OA...
