Confused between a and e

Both are acceptable Grammer wise

After omitting is an action

If I see a list, after omitting means somebody is doing that,

Can somebody pls help

Once a hurricane is identified, it is given a name from a list drawn up by the United States Weather Service, a list that is reused after a few years, but with the names of the worst hurricanes omitted.


A. but with the names of the worst hurricanes omitted

B. omitting the names of the worst hurricanes

C. the names of the worst hurricanes being omitted

D. after they have omitted the names of the worst hurricanes

E. after omitting the worst hurricane names

We need to show a contrast hence we need BUT--

Hello,
I need a little help here.

Once a hurricane is identified, it is given a name from a list drawn up by the United States Weather Service, a list that is reused after a few years, but with the names of the worst hurricanes omitted.

'but with the names of the worst hurricanes omitted': This part seemed colloquial to me, but I was not able to categorise it as a valid modifier and I could not decipher why is the contrast used. It would make perfect sense to say : 'list that is reused after a few years (after the names of the worst hurricanes were omitted)

Due to the above reasons I striked off A and selected E.

Could you please explain where am I going wrong?

Regards,
Ankit
