It may not be correct to look at this issue in active or passive voice context. After all passive voice is not taboo in GMAT
Besides, there is virtually no choice without the use of passive voice.
‘Are known’ in A, ‘are known’ and ‘has been observed’ in B, and C, ‘is observed’ in D and E, are all in passive voice.
Another point is that the use of once in choices B and C does not gel well within the meaning. Once may be used to mean as soon as or at that very moment. In a remote sense, it may also mean that some people require seeing such cosmic phenomena just one time and then they are inclined to stoke their dormant faiths.
All these are general observations and generalizations. The use of present tense is acceptable in such instances, IMO.
Ignoring the passive voice insinuation, I would rather prefer A

Hi KyleWiddison
In my opinion: in B we are loosing subject "many people". B incorrectly implies that if anyone - including a satellite- observes meteor shower, many people's faith is rekindled.
Is my understanding correct? Am I missing something?

I agree that the even though B is the correct answer it's construction isn't awesome. Truthfully, if I had written the question I would have used the last part of answer choice A with choice B because I think it is more clear in its meaning.
This question hinges completely on the use of the present tense vs. the perfect infinitive. Since people are known to have done something previously (rekindle their faith) we can't use the present tense as in choice A. Choice B shows that the rekindling was something that would have happened in the past. So, regardless of the meaning issues we might have with Choice B, it does not have the tense issues like A and is the correct answer.
