You need a plural verb (spin) and the correct idiom is determined by. Therefore, answer is D.

"determined as a result of" is both wordy and the incorrect idiom.

It should be "D".
E - is wordy compared to 'D'.

Dont you think that collisions determined the direction?
Frankly, I think there should be someone determined the direction of planets.
As a result of collisions with giant celestial bodies in the early history of the Solar System, the direction in which the Earth and the other solid planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars spin was determined. Sound better!
