The correct answer is E.
Try to plug E in the problem quoted. You'll see another parallelism, beleive me.
At first I'd go for A. But It's wrong.
Let's think about redundancy in A.
among 1, among 2, and among 3
That's why I posted.

i find hard to digest E as the answer..
Talking of redundancy.... E has a redudant word "ones".
When it would simply have meant "the only seven countries that have launched their own Earth satellites" instead of
the seven countries that have been the only ones .
Another thing that raises doubt in my mind is the use of "present perfect continous" tense in option "E". Here it suggests that India is among the seven countries, which have been launching satellites since a long time in past.
While the original sentence "A" doesnt seem to suggest so. This is very important to note that, we cannot change the meaning of "A".
Considering all this i still stand by choice "A".
All questions are invited
