Noting bad with A here, let's keep it.
Quote:
The use of "considerably" (instead of "considerable") results in strange meaning: now "considerably" modifies adjective "environmental". It does not make sense.
Quote:
Parallelism issue: full clause "low-level leaks are chronic" is not parallel to noun phrase "the routine discharge of mud and mineral salts"
"where" should be used to modify real places, not conceptual ones. So, it is better to use "in/during which".
Quote:
Parallelism issue: noun phrase "chronic low-level leaks" is not parallel to the full clause "mud and mineral salts are routinely discharged"
The meaning is slightly shifted: now it seems that environmental risk is caused by mud and mineral salts.
"due to" should explain the reason for nouns, not actions: "because of" will work better for this choice.
Quote:
S-V agreement error: singular subject "leaking" requires singular verb "is", not "are".
Only "and" makes compound subject; phrases "along with", "as well as", "together with", etc. do not make a compound subject and affect its singular/plural nature.
A is correct choice.

Interesting question, here is my 2 cents
A. No error so far, so let's keep it.
B. because of and the reason seem redundant so B is out
C. the word "where" used for location so incorrect
D. Meaning change, so now if you read the statement carefully, you will find that it distorts the intended meaning
E. SV Error - Chronic low-level leaking, along with the routine discharge of drilling mud and mineral salts, are (should be is because we are using additive sentences along with.
A is Correct
