First, I eliminated answer choices with "could be a grave strain for"...diction...B and D gone.
Then I eliminated C, "it" is not required for the subject.
I got confused between A and E, but selected E.
Could you please explain your answers.

The first split is "that/with". If that is not easy elimination - look at the meaning. The sentence says that chest cold gravely "strain" the voice.
Marian Corey has developed a chest cold that, with persistent coughing, could gravely strain the five-octave voice that earned her fame.
A. that, [strike]with persistent coughing[/strike], could gravely strain
D - out for passive "be"
E - change of meaning. Looks like Corey "strain" her own voice. Illogical.

Original sentence has nothing wrong in it. You simply can not change any of the words present.
