(A) released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial refrigeration and insulation is
- Since subject "Chlorofluorocarbons" is Plural, plural verb "Are" should be used
(B) released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial refrigeration and insulation are
- Correct Answer
(C) resulting from industrial refrigeration and insulation released into the atmosphere are
- Changes the original intent of the sentence since it now means that INSULATION is released in the atmosphere
(D) being released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial refrigeration and insulation is
- Since subject "Chlorofluorocarbons" is Plural, plural verb "Are" should be used. Moreover use of BEING RELEASED is incorrect
(E) having been released into the atmosphere and resulting from industrial refrigeration and insulation are
- Use of HAVING BEEN RELEASED is incorrect. Moreover use of "AND RESULTING" changes the original intent of the sentence since it now means that RELEASE and RESULT are two different events

Error Analysis:
Option A: Subject verb error. CFC's plural. So are should be used.
Option B: Correct.
Option C:Misplaced modifier. What is released? CFC's . So it should be placed close to the modifier.
Option D: Same as A . Also usage of being is unnecessarily wordy.
Option E: Simple past should be used. Also usage of and is incorrect as it makes the occurrence of event independent. The causation is broken.
Therefore the answer is B.
