B for me
Reasons are plural, so we need "those"
E IMO has a concision problem... you can put "those" and make it crisp and clear with 1 word

Don't you guys think that B should actually have been "those were" for it to be a good answer?

" those behind" is correct here.
Else we could have written " those, which were behind"

I think "they" is Subjective , which cannot be used in Objective.
"Those" is Objective.
