A. To follow traditions from his family upbringing makes him happy, so
B. Because it makes him happy following the traditions from his family upbringing,
C. Due to his being happy, following his family’s traditions from his upbringing,
D. Since Sangwoo is happy to follow traditions from his family’s upbringing,
E. For him, following his family upbringing makes him feeling happy, so
I go with B.
Also it seems to be parallel with second half.
OA pls

D, E seem out of it.
How did you eliminate the rest?
I'm just giving a try....
Will try to list down A,C,B
Coming to A
To follow traditions from his family upbringing makes him happy, so
my college friend Sangwoo requests that people take off their shoes when entering his apartment.
Red - Dependent clause (because it doesnt have noun)
Blue - Independent Clause
Green - Dependent Clause
Here construction looks like DC,so IC DC
But it should be IC,so IC
Therefore A is out...
Coming to C
Due to his being happy, following his family’s traditions from his upbringing,
my college friend Sangwoo requests that people take off their shoes when entering his apartment. Here
Yellow -- ING modifier modifies preceded by comma so it modifiers preceding clause (Due to his happy)
This seems to be illogical...
Therefore C is out
Coming to B
Because it makes him happy following the traditions from his family upbringing,my college friend Sangwoo requests that people take off their shoes when entering his apartment. this construction is
DC, IC DC
Here "Because.... " adds info to my college friend.
Also him pronoun refers to my college friend.
Hope i did my best to present nicely
Hope this helps you
