B has redundancy, but correct use of will.
A is more precise, but use of would is not correct.

I chose D and I totally disagree with B being the correct one. I have never seen such a redundant option be correct. At least this is not GMAT like. As gmat1220 correctly stated, they don't use "due to the fact" as well.

IMO E. B is wrong for obvious reasons. Think we need to ask the experts what they think of this one.

I go with D. And as mentioned already, I too don't think highly of the SC 1000 series. "Due to" will RARELY be a part of the correct sentence/answer choice.

B) is correct. We need the "has been" for past continuing into the present and "will" for the future. The wrong || ism in E) leaves only B) as the answer.
