This question is not correctly written, Choices D and E are wrongly written. I also came across this question on GMATPREP.
EZO, please verify the question from the GMATPREP test.
Choice D and E have 'Cancun' not 'Cancun's'.... If I remember correctly
and then E would be the answer

gmacvik. You are totally right. D & E were written wrong:
D- Cancun seemed to be using its strategic at the foot of the highlands, which was a source of jade, obsidian, and other valuable commodities, in becoming a commercial power throughout the lowland.
E- Cancun seems to have used its strategic at the foot of the highlands, a source of jade, obsidian, and other valuable commodities, to become a commercial power throughout the lowland.

(C) compares the commercial power of Cacun with other cities. It must compare the commercial power of Cacun with the commercial power of other cities to be right.
I think the main difference between (D) an (E) is the idiom ' use X to become', instead of 'use X in becoming', which is awkward. So (E) is the right answer.
