Five of the committee members will be unable to attend the meeting due to the severity of the snow storm, so I suggest that it be postponed until a later time.
a) so I suggest that it be postponed until a later time
b) therefore I suggest that the meeting should be cancelled until another time
c) and my suggestion is to be postponing the meeting until a better time
d) for which at another time we can be having it
e) thereby it ought to be postponed until a more safe time

OA is WRONG!
A is correct: Command Subjunctive, "so" is correctly used in the meaning of "therefore", "postpone sh until" is idiomatic!
B is 100% WRONG: you never use "I suggest that sh should" - this is terrible. "To be cancelled until another time" is no less nonsensical: Unlike postponing, cancellation cannot be upheld continuously. Cancellation is not durative action, it is punctual action!
A is the correct answer.

B) Meaningful and error free. Correct.
C) So the postponement will be continuously ongoing activity! Changes the meaning. Wrong.
D) No clear reference for "which" and "it". Wrong.
E) No clear reference for "it". Wrong.
Correct answer is B.
