OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
As previous studies have implied, a new study estimates that one-third or even more than one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use.
A. As previous studies have implied, a new study estimates that one-third or even more than one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use
This answer choice is stylistically flawed. The phrase one-third or even more than one-third is redundant. Look for a more concise answer choice.
What helps us identify this question as a Redundancy question as well as identify this mistake is the following Stop Sign: x or (even) more than x
B. As previous studies, a new study estimates that at least one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use
Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by replacing the phrase one-third or even more than one-third with at least, it is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (As previous studies), however, does not include a verb.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as the mistake is the following Stop Sign: Like, unlike, than, as
C. A new study estimates that at least one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use, as previous studies have implied
This answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by replacing the phrase one-third or even more than one-third with at least.
D. A new study estimates that at least one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use, as previous studies
Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by replacing the phrase one-third or even more than one-third with at least, it is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (As previous studies), however, does not include a verb.

E. A new study estimates that at least one-third of all deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are due to maternal tobacco use, as studies carried out before have implied
Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by replacing the phrase one-third or even more than one-third with at least, it is redundant due to its use of the wordy phrase studies carried out before have implied.
