A suffers from some errors:(1)for enabling..using in order to would better fit but still, meaning or purpose issue (2)after so that we should use present simple in stead of future..so, will should be omitted (3)past perfect..always we should use past perfect cautiously..here does not fit at all
B suffers from..(1)past perfect continuous? while with still (2)for enabling (3) was aware (4)might have made
C suffers from..(1)who still were living (2)after so that we should omit will (3)had made
D suffers from...not any since usage of recently here contains no split. Moreover, recently can be used with past simple( His uncle recently died),but such usage is rarely encouraged.
E suffers from ..(1)had been closely monitored (2)will enable (3) was aware
So my answer is D unless there is an option F that fixes the issue of recently.
