A and D are redundant because "every year" and "annually" mean the same thing. Also they are adverbs thus should follow the verb that they are modifying. Which in this case is "killed" thus C and E are out.That leaves us with B

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Every year, because the horn of either the black or white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market, hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed annually.
A. Every year, because the horn of either the black or white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market, hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed annually
Incorrect.
Using both every year and annually is redundant since they mean the same thing.
B. Because the horn of either the black or white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market, hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed every year
Using both every year and annually is redundant since they mean the same thing. This answer choice corrects the Redundancy by removing the word annually.
C. Every year, because the horn of either the black and white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market, hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy by eliminating the redundant word annually, it makes a Parallelism error. Either must be followed by or, not and.
What helps you identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- (n)either... (n)or...
D. Every year, hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed annually because the horn of either the black or white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. Using both every year and annually is redundant since they mean the same thing.
E. Annually, because the horn of either the black or white species can fetch a large sum on the illegal market, a hundred African rhinoceros are killed
Not exactly.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy, it changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence states that hundreds of African rhinoceros are killed whereas this sentence states only a hundred.
