A line is by definition straight. so "in as straight a line" is wordy and not correct, Wrong answer
(D) as straightly as is possible in a line to conserve energy,
the verb "is" nonsensical, Wrong answer
(E) in as straight a line as possible to conserve energy, an undertaking that is
A line is by definition straight. so "in as straight a line" is wordy and not correct, Wrong answer
