a. Use of that is wrong
b.Concise and conveys the intended meaning
c. Same error as A
d. Modifier problem - incorrect placement of "childhood" which is supposed to modify "died"
e. Too wordy.
Hence, b is the answer.

"That" cannot refer to people.
So we are left with ACs B,D and E.
(D) who in childhood might have at one time died
>>> implies the people actually died when they were children.
The SC means to say the people who might have died of these infections are now alive because of the medical blah blah.
(E)As a result of medical advances, many people who, when they were children, might at one time have died
of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.
>>> I think this AC changes the meaning of the SC as well.
B is left.
This could very well be a IIlism question.
As a result of medical advances, many people who might once have died in childhood
of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.
Hope this helps

Hi GMATNinja egmat AjiteshArun VeritasKarishma
I have a confusion in choice B and choice E.
(B) who might once have died in childhood
As mentioned by GMATNinja, placement of words is important here. I believe that the placement of word died should have been closer to the its reason i.e. died of such infections as X and Y.
Using this logic, I eliminated B as the word "died" is placed a little far from its reason.
(E) who, when they were children, might at one time have died
E states that the people might at one time have died (implying that people might have died in the past).
I sense no error in the placement of "at one time" and believe that placement of "at one time" and "once" matters more than their individual meanings as both convey the same meaning if placed aptly.
E is wordy but that is not enough to eliminate it.
Please shed some light on this.
