I am going with B. Here's my attempt:
(A) they created the desire of the singer for fleeing her Missouri home and family and, the result was, to become
Expl: desire of the singer is wordy. It can be shortened to singer's desire without losing any meaning. A, D, and E are out!
Also, noun for doing smth is very often less good than noun to do smth. A and E have that.
(B) that they created the singer's desire to flee her Missouri home and family and, as a result, to become
Expl:No problem with that. The to become-infinitive acts as a role. Therefore the modifier as a result is fine here.
Also, the parallel structure of to flee and to become is correct.
(C) that they created the singer's desire to flee her Missouri home and family and, the result of this, she became
Expl:the result of this modifies she. But she isnt the result. C is out.
(D) that they created the desire of the singer to flee her Missouri home and family, and resulted in becoming
Expl:incorrect for the same reason as A. Also, and resulted needs an antecedent. But what is the antecedent? sounds like it is years? out!
(E) as to create the desire of the singer for fleeing her Missouri home and family, resulting in her becoming
Expl:incorrect for the same reason as A.
Feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Idiom and parallelism.
At first sight, the options need to follow idiom so X that Y'. This eliminates A and E.
Out of B C and D only B follows parallelism - to flee and to become
Hence answer is B.
