Ans: E
original sentence coveys the following meaning:
As the ocean gets more polluted, culprits are still able to dump trash and discard mine waste such as.., and face few ramifications.
Issue in option A-> idiom not only but also is required.
This removes options A,B and C, as these do not use the mentioned Idiom.
Between D and E, option D changes the meaning by saying, culprits are able to dump and discard, to face few ramifications. culprits are not doing something intentionally and hence use of to face is incorrect.
Option E, maintains the meaning from option A, not only are culprits able to dump, but also discarding mine waste and facing few ramifications.

I am not very much sure for my answer but I choose A option.
1) Idiom tested- Not only X but also Y and Not only X, Also Y; now, both are correct on GMAT. I eliminate c,d and e option because i was not able to find the subject. Intended meaning - Culprits can also discard mine waste, but in c,d and e; the subject is not given, Who discard mine wastes ?
2) In between A and B, i choose A because 'such as' is mostly used for the list of items.
Moreover in B, Discard and Facing is not parallel
A. they can also discard mine waste such as the sludge and slurry leftover from copper, dredged material, toxic waste, and face- Correct
B. they can also discard mine waste that includes the sludge and slurry leftover from copper, dredged material, toxic waste, and facing
C. also discarding mine waste including the sludge and slurry leftover from copper, dredged material, toxic waste, facing
D. but also discard mine waste such as the sludge and slurry leftover from copper, dredged material, toxic waste, to face
E. but also discarding mine waste such as the sludge and slurry leftover from copper, dredged material, toxic waste, and facing
