A. repeated impacts broke the surface apart, and after which the fragments were subsequently rejoined because of -> rightly used
B.repeated impacts on the surface broke it apart, after which the fragments having rejoined with -> running sentence
C.through repeated impacts that the surface broke apart, after which the fragments subsequently rejoined by. -> suggested through impacts is wrong
D.the surface broke apart with repeated impacts, after which the fragments having rejoined through. ->running sentence
E.the surface broke apart as a result of repeated impacts , after which the fragments rejoined through. -> eliminate since rejoined through force is not correct,rejoined by force or because of force is correct

im muddled between A and E
somehow through does not click hence A is the choice with subsequently playing its role .

I go for E.
