Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring, the university administration has announced that it will hire more faculty members for the next school year.
(A) Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring, --> correct
(B) Because of soaring class sizes, which is due to a surfeit of undergraduate students,
(C) Because class sizes have been sent soaring, which resulted from a surfeit of undergraduate students, --> A is better
(D) Due to soaring class sizes from a surfeit of undergraduate students,
(E) Due to a surfeit of undergraduate students, with the result that class sizes have been sent soaring,
(A) Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring, --> correct
(B) Because of soaring class sizes, which is due to a surfeit of undergraduate students,
(C) Because class sizes have been sent soaring, which resulted from a surfeit of undergraduate students, --> A is better
(D) Due to soaring class sizes from a surfeit of undergraduate students,

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.

First difference in all answer choices is use of Due to or because of.
We know that due to is used when we have to show something is caused by a particular thing.
In the original sentence a reason is provided hence due to options are out of the race.
(A) Because a surfeit of undergraduate students has sent class sizes soaring,
seems fine
(B) Because of soaring class sizes, which is due to a surfeit of undergraduate students,
Which is modifying to class sizes, irrelevant
(C) Because class sizes have been sent soaring, which resulted from a surfeit of undergraduate students,
which is modifying to soaring in addition to this present perfect and simple past making this sentence unnecessary wordy
(D) Due to soaring class sizes from a surfeit of undergraduate students,
As discussed, it is out
(E) Due to a surfeit of undergraduate students, with the result that class sizes have been sent soaring,
Same as D
Hence A seems to be our answer
