Official explanation:- Choice A is correct because the cause-and-effect relationship is accurately and concisely represented. With answer choice B, "soaring class sizes" is a plural subject and needs a plural verb instead of the singular "is." In choice C, "because"and "which" both introduce dependent clauses. The result is that "which" has no clear referent. The sentence is also chronologically confusing. Answer choice D reverses the cause (too many students) and the effect (large class sizes) in an awkward way. "Due to from..." is a wordy construction, as well. With choice E, "due to" and "with the result" are redundant because they mean the same thing.
