A. of a material and force applicable on the material, the students decided that the data that was collected for calculation was
"force applicable" is a off meaning-wise. the material deformed because a force was applied on it however force applicable suggest any force that might be applicable on the material
B. of and applied force on a material, the students had decided that the data that was collected for calculation is
"had decided" suggest students decided that data was flawed even before the data was collected
C. and applied force of a material, the students decided that the data that was collected for calculation was
applied force of a material suggests that the material had some force.
D. of a material and applied force on the material, the students decided that the data that had been collected for calculation was
Correct
E. of a material and its applied force, the students decided that the data collected for calculation is
its presumably referring to "material" so this suggests that material has some sort of force

My answer is (D). It took me 02:36.
The meaning before the comma is not very clear to me. Ultimately, it does not matter. We should focus on the part after the comma.
Traditionally, "Data" should be treated as plural. Its singular form is datum. In this sentence, though, data is treated as an uncountable noun.
(D) is superior because "the students decided that the data that had been collected for calculation was" appropriately uses past tense and past perfect tense to indicate that data collection occurred before the students' decision.
(A) "the data that was collected" should be "the data that had been collected".
(B) "had decided" indicates that the decision occurred before the data collection.
(C) See (A)
(E) "is" should be "was".
