Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza must have its crust, which resembles a pie crust more than a traditional pizza-style flatbread, baked alone before toppings are added, and so takes longer to prepare it than most other types of pizza.
(A) "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza must have its crust, which resembles a pie crust more than a traditional pizza-style flatbread, baked alone before toppings are added, and so takes longer to prepare it than most other types of pizza. ''Must have its crust baked'' makes the meaning nonsensical, it looks as if pizza itself needs to get its crust baked.
(B) The crust of "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza is more similar to a pie crust than to a traditional pizza-style flatbread and must be baked alone before adding toppings, thus taking longer to prepare than most other types of pizzas. (Usage of ''and'' introduces parallelism, however, then it distorts the meaning. It gives two parallel reasons for taking longer time to bake, one is the design of the crust and other is that it needs to be baked alone. However, crust design is not the reason for taking longer time. Thus, usage of ''and'' is wrong.
(C) "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza takes longer to prepare than most other types of pizza because of its crust, resembling a pie crust more than a traditional pizza-style flatbread, must be baked alone before adding toppings. ''Because of its crust must be baked'', this is super off grammar, preposition ''of'' and ''must'' cannot be clubbed together
(D) "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza takes longer to prepare than most other types of pizza because its crust, which is more like a pie crust than like a traditional pizza-style flatbread, must be baked alone before toppings are added. Correct answer.
(E) Because its crust is more like a pie crust than a traditional pizza-style flatbread, "Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza must have its crust baked alone before toppings are added, and so takes longer than most other types of pizzas to prepare it. Again distorts the meaning, ''must have its crust baked'' is wrong

I kinda took some time but took more of a meaning based approach here.
The chronology:
+ Its crust is more like a pie crust than like a traditional pizza-style flatbread (Non essential info)
+ Its crust must be baked alone before toppings are added.
(Therefore)
+ Chicago-style" deep-dish pizza takes longer to prepare than most other types of pizza.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
I agree with the correct answer choice. Still I am a bit curious about answer E. I discarded this answer choice because for me I considered the last clause of that answer choice (bolded) an independent clause, and there should be a noun or pronoun between the "so" and "takes". I know that there are other issues with this answer choice, but I just want to make sure whether I am correct or not in this independent clause principle. I would appreciate any thoughts about that.
