A. to strikes in 2017, and according to estimates made by the Labor Bureau, they cost the nation 550 crore rupees -- What is the reverent for ‘they? Strikes, man-days, or estimates? Wrong

C. in strikes in 2017, and according to estimates made by the Labor Bureau, it cost the nation cost the nation 550 crore rupees --- 1. referent for ‘it’? Wrong 2. anything wrong with the transcription?
D. in strikes in 2017, so as to cost the nation 550 crore rupees, according to estimates by the labor bureau --- 'so as to cost' is a wrong idiom.
E. to strikes in 2017, which according to estimates made by the Labor Bureau, thus costs the nation 550 crore rupees --- the plural subject, whether man-days or estimates or strikes does not have a plural verb

I am going to approach this question exactly how I would approach any SC questions in GMAT. The moment we encounter one definite problem with one option, we will reject it.
We first notice have 2 splits -
India lost 11.73 lakh man days to strikes
India lost 11.73 lakh man days in strikes
Now the later usage is definitely wrong idiomatic usage, so immediately we C,D out. We are left with A,B and E
Now lets come to another split, the pronoun usage
by the Labor Bureau, they cost the nation
by the Labor Bureau, cost the nation
The first one has "they" which should logically refer to strikes, but it is actually referring to the Labour Bureau. So A is out. Since B and E have no such pronouns we keep them in.
Now let us zoom at E.
thus costs the nation 550 crore rupees
the verb "costs" is singular. the subject here is "strikes" is plural. We have a SV agreement problem.
Answer: B
