Everything else changes the meaning of the sentence. BCD suggests that the medal of honor is awarded in longoverdue cases.

I stuck up in choice C & E. But I will chose C rather than E.
The correct phrase is "in recognition of".
If C is selected, then this phrase properly fits in the statement.
If E is selected, then " In X recognition of " doesn't fit in the statement.
Morever, longoverdue is one long word which looks akward than "long-overdue". C has used work "long-overdue" while E has used word "longoverdue".
Hence, I selected choice C.
What do u guys thing?

A - Wordy. usage of which is redundant. The second which is trying to modify the award but fails to do so
B - distorts the original meaning. award for long overdue
C - award...the congressional medal of honour, 2 nouns back to back, grammatically incorrect.
D - contains the same error as in B and C
E suits well here
