My answer is (D).It took me 01:16.
(A) Verb ("cost") is preferred to Noun ("a cost").
What is the antecedent of "which"? It should be "neglect" not "effects". So "are" does not agree in number.
(B) Notice "and" after the comma. In "X and Y", X and Y should be parallel.
"and already costing the restoration fund" cannot be parallel with "New leaks caused by the torrential rain have damaged the historic Henson House".
But if "and already costing the restoration fund" is parallel with "significant in compounding the effects of neglect", the comma is not needed. In this interpretation, the sentence's meaning is different from that of (A) or (D), but because we do not know what the author intends to say, so meaning change is not a strong reason to disqualify B.
(C) In this version, "already the restoration fund costs of more than $70,000" can only be understood as an appositive. It is a noun phrase, so it should be the appositive of "new leaks". Yet the two are not equivalent.
(D) What is the antecedent of "which"? It should be "neglect" not "effects". Why "cost" is okay here? Well, it is in simple past tense.
(E) In this version, "and already costs the restoration fund of" can only be parallel with "have damaged the historic Henson House", but then, because the subject (new leaks) is plural, "already costs" should be "already cost".
